All I see is one police station buying a bearcat. A bigger sample size would make this more than a demagogue piece.

imho, of course.

 

I'll wait for ben to tell us the real truth.

 

KPD is just hoping the veterans and college kids don't make an alliance

 

I stopped when I saw infowars in the link name.

 

There's nothing wrong with re-purposing what would otherwise be scrapped or parked DoD equipment for local law enforcement such as SWAT. If there's a need and it limits the local gov's from having to spend money why not?

 

Be afraid.

I have almost 600 rounds of .22 LRs!

 

Careful! Obama will personally come to your house and take them from you if he finds out!

GUBMENT NEVER TAKE MY .22 MARLIN!

 

He posts at this message board too. It's over.

 

Several small and medium size Departments here in the mid-state got MRAPS. It's a piece of worn out junk that hardly runs. The last 4 felony warrants that our SWAT team served were on Iraqi and Afghan war vets. We've also got several Korean War model 1911's and Vietnam era M-14's and AR's. We've had them for years and can't return them or sell them.

 

AN M-14 would be cool.

 

Browning Automatic Rifle, imo.

 

Not an either/or situation, Jay.



Btw, if we can't trust police with armored vehicles then why are they the police? I have my issues with abuse of authority, but I see no reason to be more concerned because of this sort of thing than before. It is the authority/badge that matters and needs to be sacred. The tools they wield fall into place just fine for the vast majority that actually serve and protect. A good and principled police force could have an Abrams, for all I care. It isn't about that little-[penis] "can't let someone have better stuff than me" gun nut stuff that creeps up. Or at least shouldn't be.

 

I mean, the citizenry can arm themselves to the teeth, but not the cops. Right?

Five shot .38 specials and that is it. Maybe a billy club. MAYBE.

 

Yep. Folks want their big toys. Police need to have an answer for them.

 

I loved the M-14. It was incredibly accurate...

 

Oh, I get that. I would just love to be able to squeeze off some rounds from a BAR.

 

Browning was amazing in his ability to design firearms.

 

Some folks up your way have BARs. I don't know them, but friends of an acquaintance years ago.

 

The fact that the M2 is still being used 80 years later is flat out amazing.
