> They’ve got a point- these things don’t look like they’re designed to be rescuing anybody
Unless it’s got a gurney, stretchers and medical equipment on board, it’s not a rescue vehicle; it’s an assault vehicle.
The anti-RPG grills over the inches-thick bullet resistant windows, and the gun ports, sure make it look like a warm and fuzzy rescue vehicle.
The story a few weeks ago about the USMC “integrating” with police depts from around the USA said it was so they could operate together as “Special Response Teams.” That seems to be the new Fedspeak for this program.
Special Response to whom? Not Major Hassan or a few islamic terrorists. They sure don’t need a billion bullets for THAT.
So obviously, it’s us Bitter Clingers in the Evil White Racist Tea Party KKK Nazi Militias.
Not uprising that it’s a ‘rescue vehicle’. Verbal camouflage for a totalitarian spearhead.
The French had a ‘Committee of Public Safety’. I bet that that sounded innocuous too - until the ‘enemies of the revolution’ were put to death by the thousands.
