Washington, May 19 (RHC)-- U.S. President Barack Obama is curbing the flow of military-style gear to local police departments.

Following criticism of the militarized response to protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama is banning the federal government from providing weaponized aircraft or vehicles, grenade launchers, camouflage uniforms and tank-like armored vehicles which run on tracked wheels.

Obama says he will also restrict other military-style gear, including Humvees, drones, explosives and battering rams.
