Why the hell do our cities need armored military vehicles designed for the extreme combat situations of war?
More and more we see the militarization of our police force. This article in the Dallas Observer makes it sounds like these military vehicles are being deployed because there isn’t anything better to do with them and that they could be used to fight crime.
Of course, this is complete B.S. With government officials calling patriotic groups like the Tea Party ‘terrorists’, we can easily see where all of this is going.
The economy is headed for a complete collapse, and these will be used to quell uprisings of people who are calling the heads of the heads of state. It is self-protection on the part of our ‘servants’ in government and will be used for crowd control when all hell finally breaks loose.
Now that the war in Iraq is officially over and the one in Afghanistan winding down, the Department of Defense found itself facing a conundrum. It had just spent billions of dollars buying heavily armored personnel carriers designed to stand up to insurgent attacks only to find that it had run out of wars to use them in.
The initial plan was to shove the vehicles, called MRAPS (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) into a warehouse and let them collect dust. That changed when someone decided that, having served so admirably overseas, it would be only just to bring the MRAPs stateside and deploy them in the domestic war on crime.
its a com n
Want the hell does any Police Department need with an armed vehicle there for one thing and one thing only wake up America
it all fits the grander plan of complete martial law and having to protect themselves from the public when the c**p hits the fan and it will,this Regime in office is power drunk and the ends justify the means…Obama told us what he had planned for our country and dumbasses still voted him in…Twice!
sweet..paint it camo… luv it..
had to give them away, goat herders in the stan were blowing them up.
homeland security is placing these vehicles at most big cities in preparation for the upcoming anticipated uprising coming from the american people in protest to losing our rights under the constitution.
These vehicles appear BETTER then what our troops have in Afghanistan. Is the AMERICAN general public BETTER armed than the enemy??? Oh WAIT! FEMA thinks we ARE the enemy….silly me
Do they ever get out of it?
Yep!
