I doubt if there is a law enforcement agency in this country that actually has a tank.

I was afraid this would happen. Now we will have an arms race among all the school districts. It will never end.

When the USAF finally lets go of the A-10, how many school districts, park rangers and parking patrols will get them?
Nothing says "No Parking" like a burst of 30 mm armor piercing rounds.

If it’s free, does that mean they should take it? No. Just because it’s free doesn’t mean a police force needs it.

"I doubt if there is a law enforcement agency in this country that actually has a tank." I suspect that is due more to lack of funds than lack of desire. LE didn't hesitate one bit to use Bradleys and CEVs at Waco when Wesley Clark offered them up. If they'd put up a single Abrams on the 1033 program, I'm guessing no shortage of agencies would be competing for it.

I feel bad for that crew. A tank trap consisting of a couple dozen gallons of gasoline plus kerosine combined with about 30 molotov ingniters....Shudder...thankfully I’m retured. I’d hate to be stuck in a IFV under those circumstnces.

bent metal plate and about 1/4 pound of C4 into the side of that and you’d think a bowling ball hit the head pin.

We arent going to be able to stop the proliferation of the military weapons to local police forces.
Its important, however, to change those things we can, and in this case one thing to change is our perception of those weapons.
We need to begin thinking of them as resources for our side, resources being maintained and fueled for us to use when they are needed.

Bipartisan political folks would probably like to have those weapons for defending their offices against the Ebola virus, against the unworthy in general and defend their incomes from the austerity layoffs ahead (debt collapse). They have the political influence and legal immunity to have and do whatever they like for now. If they arm-up enough, they might try to enforce a continuation of the situation.

To suggest that its a threatening type of equipment or equipment for a show of force that is not the case, Zipperman said.
Since the other alternative is that they actually think they have a use for it; that is less than reassuring.

be used for extraordinary circumstances,like when they declare ML - their 'equipment is already dispersed and in place around the country, ready for them to commandeer and control
'Vet" you say I doubt if there is a law enforcement agency in this country that actually has a tank.
heavy duty war vehicles have been systematically and with great malice aforethought 'delivered' across the country - particularly in smaller law enforcement outfits surrounding larger cities...still belong to the gov't should they 'need' them.
this has been going on for years, in the open in and in peoples faces. There's one team of 4 drivers that have been delivering MRAPs - full time - for over two years now. That's just one team.
Lots more info re the tanks - do some research. When they get ready to lower the boom - everything is in place. Anyone who thinks they'll be able to head for the hills at the first hint of trouble - out of ANY sizable city or along any major or semi-major roads, have their heads in the sand.

Now that this is FINALLY getting some publicity in our own media - Washington is 'rethinking it' - uh huh. Of they can. They've already got them all over now, HUNDREDS - ready to use.

I don't think you're clear on the difference between the police and the military.
You know there's a difference, right?
