Palestine is the perfect testing ground for lots of new tech related to crowd control and surveillance. It makes sense they go there to learn about LRADS and barbaric anti protest techniques and then bring it back to use on the US population.

Choke holds, and other ways to brutalize civilians.

They can explain. They don't want to explain, because it involves techniques to increase police brutality and to terrorize the population.

How to shamelessly shoot children probably.

To shoot children in the head and neck? To rape prisoners? To steal people’s houses and poison their dogs? To light toddlers on fire? To traffic children to politicians and then blackmail them?

Why send them to Israel when they can now be taught by IDF here in the US in 1 of the 69 cop cities across the country.

In unrelated news, It's way easier to smuggle things when you have state actors do it on "official" business trips.

According to the article this applies to any of their training trips. Nobody is making them describe what they learned, or having them teach others.
