This is all super creepy. But these are not tanks, they are “Armored Cars”. When the original author called them tanks it makes us look like goof-balls. But no doubt these are being made to use on unruly american citizens.
If they can call an AR-15 an “assault rifle” for emotional effect,
we damn sure can call these things “tanks”.
Nothing a citizen can legally posess can penetrate the armor, so it might as well be a “tank”.
No matter what they're labeled.
