The “tank” used by the Ector County sheriff appears to be some sort of military surplus wheeled fighting vehicle. It’s certainly not a tank, which is a tracked vehicle.
Regardless, this thing is a huge armored truck. It’s really too much for a sheriff’s department to have.
A sheriff using this on anyone is reminiscent of Tiananmen square. Military machinery and/or tactics is a sign of a repressive regime.
But it’s not without precedent. As tanks were actually used against our own veterans in 1932 where ex-soldiers were actually shot and killed.

BTW if MSM can call ANYTHING with a long barrel and trigger an ‘assault weapon’ (in some respect they aren’t completely wrong - I can ‘assault’ you with my LCR 38 special) or anything higher than a VW Bug an SUV, calling an Armored PC a tank is in line with their idiocy)
Tanks were also used against the Branch Davidians.
