Our local Sheriff acquired an M2 a while back. He's got it mounted on a armored wheeled vehicle. His comment on the news was that they may need the capability to shoot down a terrorist controlled aircraft...talk about not living in a fantasy...not only would the population be endangered by cutting loose with an M2, but I believe the cyclic rate is too slow for efficient anti aircraft application, that and the fact that Luke AFB is just west of town with real anti aircraft trigger pullers...A law enforcement department with crew served weapons does not make sense...

Agree.....laste year we saw a LA Sheriff Dept armored vehicle (old USAF peacekeeper) pull up with an M60 on top when they burned down the cop killers house.

I read recently here on FR that some small parish police department in Louisiana was buying SAW M249's.........These are just the ones presstitutes let us in on.

Don't get me wrong I firmly believe in full auto small arms for dynamic entries but to recon by fire in the burbs with a belt fed weapon is BS....IMO.
