I wished it were not so, but I personally believe that it is.

I fully agree with you.
Given my forays into the legal world, I've seen tons of bending over backward to justify the actions of the police, I've seen them bend over backward to make the flat-out forbidden justified.

That kind of power eats at your soul; and leaves nothing behind but the ability to inflict pain and suffering on those around you.

There are going to be some dark days ahead.

MRAPS do good on level ground - but tip over easy if encountering an un-level situation.

Keep that in mind,

“Give the police departments all this hi-tech stuff, then excoriate them when they go about the business of enforcing the law.

Or are the police forces throughout the nation supposed to go into the business of suppressing law everywhere in the territory once known as “the United States of America”?”

The laws they will be allowed to enforce will be selective. Certainly nothing that protects white males. Well, gay liberal males will be in the protected class.

UNTRUE = “Americans are not permitted to own anything that can stop a vehicle like this.”

NY State Senator Kathleen Marchione says the truth.

“The Second Amendment has no limits on firepower”-

Thermite eats armor real easy. No problem.

“...demented logic...”

I was thinking the same thing earlier today until it dawned on me that Obama and his minions have been orchestrating the unrest in the black community while criticizing law enforcement across the board in an effort to move toward federalizing all US law enforcement. Once that happens, Obama will have a civilian law enforcement corps that is just as large and well funded (and equipped) as the US military.

JMHO.

Given their shooting skills and security, these should be looked at as pre-staged resources for the good guys side.

Actually, I believe it roasted and killed all the guys in that APC.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

I have little doubt that there is funding for this program in the just-passed CRomnibus bill. Thanks, Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Reid.

This is one way to get Obama’s national security force going, I suppose.

PING!

There are ways around this, if you use your noodle. Mentioning them on this forum, however, would get me a “visit.”

If the flame gets on the vehicle, it will eat up the oxygen that those inside breathe.

I assume the vehicle is sealed against such an attack, with protected air intakes and the like.

If not, then that is a different outcome completely.

Sure looks like the guy in the armored personnel carrier was pointing his weapon at the photographer.
