Where the heck are these rear ends going to deploy this vehicle in Fort Pierce? This is beyond the pale and as a local and a former public defenders investigator all I can say is that I am finally getting very jittery about Police behavior. I can not believe the Mayor authorized this purchase. I am certain that our PD no longer needs its cruisers.

Does it come with a locker of really cool looking uniforms and boots?

I understand that you're excited and upset, but... it's midnight (EST). Is this really "Breaking News" at midnight?
That said, an armored vehicle sure does seem like overkill, don't it though?

Hey, you have to have the right equipment if you’re trying to create a police state...

If you see my SWAT team roll up in this, its over, so just give up, said Police Chief Sam Baldwin.
The ravings of an insane, power mad dictator. NO police department needs something like this. It belongs in a National Guard Armory. It was paid for with YOUR tax dollars by OBAMA.

Maybe he didn’t. Maybe it went directly to the maniac who runs this Gestapo headquarters. From Obama with love.

Whenever police get these, they always make it seem like an impulse purchase at the grocery store. Well, we have everything we need, let's check out. Hey, gum!
There are not impulse buys, these must be part of a program, which is not to be made public. Same with the billion rounds of ammo, same with every agency imaginable getting a SWAT team, same with fortifying federal buildings.
The most "benign" reason I can think of for all of this is that they are planning for massive civil unrest in a few years, and are prepping for it.
And if you haven't gotten the memo about this, you are on your own.

Yup, the kind of a-hole who uses a SWAT team to server routine warrants. I am really starting to despise many cops.

The cost of maintenance on this vehicle is a huge budget item. I hope the city is prepared for that.

I have totally lost any admiration for them as a “profession”. There may still be individual good cops, but the overwhelming number of them are paramilitary insane carabineri wannabes.
The ONLY way to stop this is to ELIMINATE Police Chiefs, replace them with CIVILIAN Public Safety Directors, REQUIRE cops to LIVE where they work, establish Civilian Review boards with the authority to fire cops, and require civilian observers and reporters at ALL Police Academy classes to see exactly WHAT they are teaching these idiots.
I can’t believe this is happening in America. Full militarization of our civilian peace officers - not to target Muslim terrorists - but to target American civilians.

They are expensive to operate. So expect more raids using the forfeiture laws to fund its upkeep.
