An A-10 would be good, too, for urban area close air support. Very effective for those pesky standoffs.
No, I don't like the militarization of the police at all. If they have a tank, they will find a use for it even if it isn't reasonable.
did you post because you’re in marietta or like tanks? both?
“It has a new engine and transmission, which will allow it to reach a speed of 60 miles per hour.”
Great, the dummies will think they can take it on the highway.
It isn’t a tank at all, so what is this thread about?
Thanks for posting this. If it is going to be sitting on the square tomorrow I’ll drop by to see it.
So, which side will they beusing it on during the future general uprising, if the Obamasiah wins & tries to “CHANGE” us?
This is quietly going on across the country - getting ready for the Marxist National Police Force -
NO JOKE - be very afraid

>>”The vehicle, which retails for $500,000, is a Light Armor Vehicle that was used by the U.S. Army in Panama. The county paid $45,000 to upgrade the vehicle for police use.”<<
WOW! I would think that a used armored car from Brinks would have served the same purpose. Why in the world would a civilian police department have to spend an extra $45,000 to “upgrade” a military vehicle already designed for war? Is the civilian population more dangerous than a trained foreign military?
We are racing towards the U.S.S.A. Police State and there’s not a damned thing we can do about it.
“Because you never know when Marietta’s going to turn into Fallujah.”
Or, Lexington & Concord.
There is no rational need for any police department to have one of these.
End swat teams now.
That’s a nice Commando. Unfortunately for them, there is quite a bit of firepower in the US that can open that thing up like a tin can. I hope they don’t think their truly safe in that thing... though I’ve always had a thing for the V150’s.

Caused me to do a double-take.
Clearly, they’ll also need infantry and artillery support and probably cruise missiles, too; as well as a few fighter-bombers for close air support, if they want to handle those really tough traffic violations and domestic noise disturbances.
Note to policemen and SWAT team members: if you wanna play soldier, join the military and ship out to Iraq and Afghanistan - our finest young men and women could use the help. Or does the prospect of facing REAL, HARD CORE enemies cause you to stain your shorts?
