With a massive biometric FBI surveillance system going live across the United States in recent weeks, tens of thousands of drones to be flying over American skies within just a few years, over 1 billion rounds of ammunition being acquired by non-military government agencies, and host of laws and executive orders outlining military and police emergency response plans to lock down the United States, it isnt much of a stretch to suggest that our government is preparing for something that aims to fundamentally transform America as we know it today.
New evidence for a coming lock-down of America is presented to the public by citizen journalists and alternative media on an almost weekly basis, which suggests that whatever is being planned is on a much more accelerated schedule now than ever before.

If anything its more effective to drag them around and have panicky people post photos of them as a means of intimidating folks. In fact they kind of remind me of the show cop cars that police departments have. Things like Corvettes and Vipers etc.
After all, a quick look at a map shows the tactical impossibility of controlling this country. They simply don’t have the personnel to control more than a couple of cities. We have a cop car roll though this little town about once a week and the only reason they do that is because we pay them to do it.

Funny how this went from a photoshop hoax to a DHS Show Vehicle.
I never said it wasn’t a photoshop or otherwise. I just said the photo looked suspicious to me and it still does.
For me the amazement is how can ordinary USA citizens ever think of going against their next door neighbors after their children play ball on the same team as a possible situation. I realize that police and sheriff and other groups stretch that societal boundary but for masses of citizens to want to act/be a part of such reactionary forces is bewildering. I know it has happened all over the world over the centuries but the matter still bugs me. And this is not to say I couldn’t/wouldn’t choose sides.

Considering the drug war going on at the border, especially when the Zetas and MS13 is involved, that doesn’t look armored enough.
SOuthern Area Command/ Tucson Arizona? Hell, I dunno
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

That doesn't look armored enough against a provencial boy with a trebouchet and a few carboys full of gasoline. Or punkin chunkers from upstate NY... It's a joke.
Embellished defenses, ie.. chain mail to plate to heavy articulated plate... or mont and bailey to castle to fortification.... are clues that an era is coming to an end.
Afghans with files and dud bombs are blowing up upgraded armor Humvees. It's not rocket science.

We need visibility in order to maneuver our vehicles, don’t we? A light coat of oil from a bug sprayer and a balloon full of flour will bring it to a halt. A few cans of spray paint will work even better.
Only use the bleach and ammonia bottles if there is shooting going on.
Armored vehicles aren't working that great in the 3rd world, circa 1850s technology, they certainly aren't going to work in the first world with folks that make that kind of stuff for a living.

Technically, no... I've done driving by braille before. If you don't like the way I drive, get off the sidewalk. ;)

More legit would be, what can people who believe in their Constitution do against those that don’t.
