Guess they’ll use this the next time the fraternity keg party gets too loud?

For every can, there is an opener. That thing looks like it could get hot.

I guess that they’ll be used to enforce the collection of fine for overdue books from the university library.

I’m sure the MRAP V-bottom improves the aerodynamics....better fuel economy, right?

Columbus' local police force does not have a bomb squad.
"Frankly, we have to be. We are the primary responder."my guess; they expect some "rough times" ahead ...

It was free?
Guess it makes more sense than the U.S. Department of Education having SWAT Teams.
Don’t know about the OSU Campus Cops, but the Cowboys I have met there are OK.
Seriously, we do business with their foundation seed operation and they are a great bunch of people.
Knowing Oklahoma like I do, I lived there 7 years, I doubt even the campus cops will get in trouble with this vehicle.
To: BBell
Opps! should have been more careful. WRONG OSU.
Sorry, my mistake.

Enough Molotov cocktails and it would get very hot.

For every can, there is an opener.
Long ago, before “American Graffiti” I knew of some guys that got carried away with a bit of a prank. The were all good boys from good homes and they aspired to be scientist, doctors and one wanted to be a US Senator.
They attached a steel cable to the rear axle of a parked police car and a very solid post.
20 MPH? (~30 FPS) at 3500lb.Thats enough energy to do some damage.
Some of this bunch still have an old newspaper article with a photo about this event.

Just wait ‘til Kent State gets one!

The article says its a replacement for an existing vehicle. If we knew what that that vehicle was, we'd have a much better idea of whether this thing is, given the cost, a suitable replacement.
To: BBell
High schools?? Yes, absolutely.
Those people desiring to pray before a high school football game can get pretty rowdy sometimes. They might need to be subdued....or something.

That’s okay. The way the parking situation is at Ohio State, they well may have to store the thing in Oklahoma.
