The vehicle is designed to withstand armor-piercing rounds, grenades — even roadside bombs like those seen by troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yes, because all those things are American law enforcement problems which desperately need a solution.

Why, just yesterday our local PD had to replace a patrol car taken out with an IED. And don't get me started on the number of hand grenades we get every day!

If so many police officials long to be part of a military unit, then THEY SHOULD JOIN THE MILITARY!

The secret is, a lot of police would never cut it in the military. Certainly, there are a lot of veterans in law enforcement and with a few exceptions (Lon Horiuchi), they tend to be the most level-headed, resonable cops out there; however, their mere presence has a tendency to frustrate the wannabes.
