Moving along to the subject of today’s absurdity, the tiny city of Washington, Iowa with a population of 7,000 and 11 police officers, will be receiving a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. Yes, they will be employing one of these in the field:

If I were to provide a tip on how to respond, it would be black.

Maybe MRAPs will become the Yugo art projects of the past?

It's just being staged there until Ubama finds an excuse to declare martial law and gives his "civilian army" the green light to start the UN Agenda 21 pogrom.

Could these be fitted with snowplows?

In the meanwhile, they’ll be driving it through citizens’ doors, because someone called in a tip that someone might have some drugs, somewhere in the house.

But when the SHTF, the law enforcement officers will come on over to our side.

Probably headed to FEMA Regional HQ in Denton for staging.

Can't be too prepared for the zombie apocalypse ...

Usually TV only discovers places like Iowa when they want to shoot a post-apocalyptic show.

What for? Looks like downtown Washington, Iowa knows how to deal with the snow. It's the dam criminal gangs they need to worry about. Jaywalking, skate+boarding and who knows what all.

Roving gangs of crazed teenagers tipping cows at midnight.

So what you are saying is that police departments that do not currently abuse the public will start abusing, because they now have tacticool tools to do it with? If they are abusing the public now, they will continue to do so. If they aren’t they probably won’t star, and there are a lot of good police departments/officers despite what the “hate the police” crowd says. Finally, I said nothing about the police changing sides in order for these toys to fall into the hands of anti-tyranny forces. That would be nice; unnecessary in a lot of cases, though.
