Were going to have our own tank.
Thats what Keene, N.H., Mayor Kendall Lane whispered to Councilman Mitch Greenwood during a December city council meeting.
Its not quite a tank. But the quaint town of 23,000 scene of just two murders since 1999 had just accepted a $285,933 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to purchase a Bearcat, an eight-ton armored personnel vehicle made by Lenco Industries Inc.

Police all over the US are forming their mini armies to fight the WAD, a war that will never be won.
That was like watching a baby play with a hand grenade.
I think they need a attack helicopter, that would keep the local belligerent drunks in line. What is a small community going to need an armored car for? Marauding gangs of raccoons and crows?
“Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute, what have we here gentlemen? The police have themselves an RV. Southeast corner”

The Federal Government is placing these things and all sorts of unpolice type weaponry all over the country for when the government feels it is time to use them against the citizenry. Most of the police forces in the country will answer Uncle Sam when they get the call to suppress. All sorts of political opposition have already been officially defined by JD as being potentially Terrorist.
Seems to be spreading, Connecticut can’t wait for the deal. New Haven has one.
Lenco has made their sales and promotional video of this monstrocity “private” on Youtube ... here’s another copy of it .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmBwBD5Tc0Q
Wait until Alex Jones sees that video.
Paid for with cash and property seizures from the WOD?
The President of Lenco is an Obama Donor. Anyone surprised?

More likely from Porkulus funds.
Every can has its opener.
Twenty years after this thing is sent to the dump, our grandchildren will finally start paying some of the principal on the money that was borrowed from them to buy this steaming pile of crap.
This is another step in nobama’s vow to have a domestic police force as well trained and armed as the military services.
So they can play military games and destroy the road with this piece of junk.
