Don't it make you feel so much safer know that your town's police department has one of these to protect you from crime?

2 million soldiers prepare to invade ... Connecticut.

This is ridiculous.

Only used against crime?

Which of us would that not include?

[cuban leaf]

Meh. It will be a prop at local towns’ summer “make a buck” festivals.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Obviously, taxes are going up soon and tax enforcement is preparing. Vote against fiscal responsibility!

[Starstruck]

While Police and agencies say that all this military equipment from DHS grants will only be used against crime

And they just made a whole bunch of people in Connecticut felons.

I don’t want to sound dismissive, but a few vodka bottles on fire would send the people inside that thing running home for good.

I cannot believe our Governors are allowing this crap to be driven on American soil.
These are War Machines! Get them off Civilian land and out of Civilian Hands.

Molotov Cocktails have been known to stop armored vehicles.

“...all this military equipment from DHS grants will only be used against crime...”

And in Connecticut it is a crime to own an unregistered “assault weapon”. In NY State it is a crime to have more than seven rounds in a magazine in your weapon. In California it is a crime to own ANY unregistered firearms.

[Salvavida]

These vehicles proved worthless in Afghanistan against an enemy that goes low tech or no-tech. Just sayin.

Soetoro-Obama will soon have his own private Army:

” - - - Now the U.S. Army has announced that it is giving 13,000 of them away, for free. Who’s receiving the trucks? Homeland Security and U.S. Law Enforcement. - - - “

[sten]

they still have to leave the trucks and go home to sleep... sometime

when the SHTF, they are surrounded by us and unless they all live on compounds, it won’t work out well for them

[Turbo Pig]

I;ll reiterate something I pointed out, before. This ain’t Iraq, or A-stan. The people that would be driving those things don’t live behind wire and machine gun pits. They live next door to you and me, they shop at the same stores, and send their kids to the same schools. The easiest way to defeat a weapons system is to kill its operators; preferably in a way that deters others from wanting to operate them.
