Washington D.C. Police buy 600,000 rounds of ammo

Just in time for the the Holiday season, the Capitol City Police have purchased 600,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. This breaks down to nearly one bullet per resident.

Is their such a threat or need for training our nations Capitol Police they need 600,000 rounds of ammo, for a single police force for a small city? that has roughly 8 Departments.

Hollow Point ammo is generally used for domestic police forces as it is designed for delivering maximum damage. It is the most lethal form of ammo to soft targets that one can purchase as its design is to cause maximum  tissue damage and blood loss or shock, and to remain inside the target, thereby transferring all of its kinetic energy to that target. It generally is used only for handgun ammo

This adds to the already purchased 750 million rounds of ammo bought by the Federal Government earlier this year for domestic use, allowing for another 2 round per citizen for “target practice” or just in case of a zombie Apocalypse
