“inferior chardonnay” very true and funny.
They could have used this in the 60’s when State Street was closed down because of protests and Bank Of American burning down in IV.
Santa Barbara has settled down a bit.

Or to knock down Joe Sixpack’s front door because he put recyclables in his regular trash.

"Or to knock down Joe Sixpacks front door because he put recyclables in his regular trash." I'm ready for them.

Looks like something out of "District 9." I'll bet they're just itching to use it on us "Prawns."

Those trust fund baby frat parties at UCSB can get a little out of hand.
Meanwhile the homeless have taken over the beach bike path and the State Street McDonald’s. The Harbor Authority threw the Naval Reserve out of their building so they could build tourist shops.
NIMBY reigns supreme.

When you think of a gritty urban combat zone, Santa Barbara is not exactly the first name that comes to mind. LOL! The beer partiers at UCSB had better watch out! What an utter joke.

It’s a bedroom for cop groupies on off days and a battering ram for food co-ops when it’s working.

Our police are militarized, and our military is a police force.

Black Krylon spray paint on the windows so the driver can't see. Gopher gas bombs from the hardware store so the occupants have to flee. Next? Federal prison?

My point is that these nutballs have burned $250,000 of taxpayers money on a ritzy armored car that can be defeated for less than $10 of intelligently applied, off the shelf counter measures.

This may be standard issue if what happened to the Mexican Federal Police in June happens to our police.
I recently reviewed crime scene photos of this ambush in Michoacan and the vehicle they were riding in was literally riddled with automatic weapons fire. These officers where also armed with automatic rifles, and were wearing kevlar helmets and possibly level 4 ballistic armor. I noticed alot of their wounds were to the limbs, neck and face but not so much in the torso.
10 officers killed.
Folks, this is another fantastic reason for 2A. I believe the Mexican organized crime and drug cartels are afraid they would be hunted down by military, police and citizen alike were they try to do the same thing here.
I may be wrong, but I have always believed the Mexican Constitution did not have anything similiar to our 2A.

Any city with a genuine need for such a vehicle really needs a National Guard deployment, instead.

Is the round thing on the top a hatch, or an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), like the Japanese use on those Sea Shepard fools?

Looks like a hatch to me, there’s a bar that seems like it’d be a handle.
