Last week a pretty bad guy killed two cops in Santa Cruz, CA. Pictures after the event showed some kind of SWAT tank from nearby Scotts Valley, which has maybe two main streets and a population of less than 12,000 spread over many square miles.
They want every town militarized.
"For $10, the Scotts Valley Peace Officers Association bought the truck from a private security company that offers their retired vehicles to law enforcement agencies for very little money. Then officers drummed up donations from businesses in the area to pay for sprucing up the truck."
