NEW YORK –

The controversial 1033 program has been making headlines for well over a year, but with the release of Yeezy Season 2, it may have gone a step too far. Originally created to transfer surplus military equipment to American law enforcement agencies, the 1033 program first drew widespread criticism following the 2014 riots in Ferguson, Missouri.

From grenade launchers and MRAPS to M-16’s and helicopters, this equipment has arguably been the greatest contributing factor to the militarization of America’s police force, but releasing defective military uniforms to the public and passing it off as high fashion is the irresponsible overreach we hoped we’d never see.

“Is this the kind of thing we want to see roaming the streets of the United States?” says Joe Sanders of the ACLU, “The public is completely justified in calling for its immediate removal. MRAPS and Stingrays are one thing, but Yeezy Season 2 has taken America that much closer to the dystopian military state we’ve all been warned about.”

In the past, Kanye West complained that no one in the fashion industry would work with him and that they couldn’t comprehend his genius. It is now apparent why. Smith left us with some parting thoughts: “If we don’t draw the line here, the next thing you know, the government will be prosecuting whistleblowers and snooping on our private communications.” Be sure and write to your local congressman and say nay to ‘Ye.
