Don’t you just love this little gem from the NY Slimes article.....
“In the Indianapolis suburbs, officers said they needed a mine-resistant vehicle to protest against a possible attack by veterans returning from war.”
“You have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build I.E.D.’s and to defeat law enforcement techniques, Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan Co. Sheriff’s Dept. told the local Fox affiliate. Sergeant Downing did not return a message seeking comment.”
Of course he didn’t return the reporter’s message, the coward. What an insulting thing to say about our returning vets.
I live in that suburb, it was the Morgan County sheriff that got it and I’ve known Bob Downey, the sheriff here, for a long time. Him I trust, but who knows about the next guy who gets in there though like his idiot Deputy quoted here. He is the kind of sheriff most freepers would respect, huge supporter of the second amendment and not a gung-ho type pushing a liberal agenda at all.
He knew there was going to be a sh*tstorm when he took it, but also I can somewhat see his point of view for doing it also. The vehicle was completely free, it just cost the fuel to drive it back here and park it.
It will only be used under extreme circumstances, it’s not like they will be getting the morning coffee in it or doing raids all the time, at least I know he won’t. He has a Boyscout mentality and would rather have it parked there and never be used than need it just once and not have access to it in a pinch.
