And of COURSE that absolutely ESSENTIAL piece of equipment MUST be purchased with Federal Tax dollars, because we can't possibly cut ANY federal spending.. heaven forbid.

Great. Glorified mall cops got themselves a tank.

And now that they have it, they have to find an excuse to use it to justify the expense.

A tragedy waiting to happen.

The on-going militarization of America's police departments proceeds apace.

That is a MRAP for driving through IED territory. I understand that IEDs are all the rage among streets gangs, moonshiners, and parking space violaters. To be honest there was a garage sale of a sorts held by the military but this goes back to what I said last week, police departments around the country are putting together tactical units with additional costs. If you spend millions to create a tactical unit you want to use that unit even if the target is only a 107 year old man. I wonder if this is for use against Tea Party people?
