The Department of Defense's 1033 program has allowed police departments across the country, including in Ferguson, Missouri, to acquire excess military equipment DoD is no longer using—including mine-resistant vehicles, planes, helicopters, machine guns, body armor, etc. This property is delivered to law enforcement agencies free of charge, too. All they have to pay is the costs associated with shipping and/or transportation.
