UAE Gave $1 Million to NYC Police Foundation; Money Aided ‘Investigations’
The New York City Police Foundation received a $1 million donation from the government of the United Arab Emirates, according to 2012 tax records, the same amount the foundation transferred to the NYPD Intelligence Divisions International Liaison Program that year, according to documents obtained by The Intercept.
A 2012 Schedule A document filed by the New York City Police Foundation showed a list of its largest donors, which included several major financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Barclays Capital but also a line item for the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates. The Intercept obtained a copy of the Schedule A document, which is not intended for public disclosure and only shows donors above the threshold of donating $1 million over four years.
Conspicuously, while the financial institutions are listed as donors on the Police Foundation website, the UAE is absent despite being one of the largest contributors listed that year with its $1 million contribution.
Publicly disclosed tax documents filed in the same year show a $1 million cash grant from the foundation to the NYPD Intelligence Division. The purpose of the grant is to provide assistance to the NYPD International Liaison Program, which enables the NYPD to station detectives throughout the world to work with local law enforcement on terrorism related incidents, the foundations 2012 tax disclosures state.

Each emirate is run by an absolute monarch. So it's basically feudalism endorsing capitalism, they are quite similar.
along with the Israeli partnership to train Local/City Police (in Israel) and our Arms Manufacturers having that yearly Exposition in California to show off their latest high-tech gear is enough to explain why our Police Departments are out of control in this country.
