Utah highway patrol is receiving it’s own mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, or “MRAP”.
As part of the DOD 1033 program, which is bringing military vehicles and equipment from wars overseas onto American streets, Utah has also received over 1200 rifles, grenade launches and other military equipment.
“When police use military-style tactics and weapons to serve warrants on people’s homes, what we’ve seen is violence ensue,” states Kara Dansky, senior counsel at national office of the ACLU.
Under this DOD program, local law enforcement in other cities across the country are also receiving their own military equipment, often frightening residents as they question why they are seeing military vehicles on their streets.
I’m sure there are a lot of mines in Utah.but they are of the metal, mineral type.
What is “America” becoming?
All law people are in on taking over our Country,we are not a 3rd world Country, and have no need for these things in the USA.If we ever do get our Country back, we have to get rid of these things, because they are for war against our people , they are part of o-dum-o,s take over.
This is swiftly becoming a police state,, Obama controlled
I saw these vehicles in the new movie “hunger games”….
Best thing to do dumbasses is NOT get in trouble to start with
Pat Davis, you are a dumbass if you think you can just be a good sheep and stay out of their sights. Have you ever heard the government ATT.’s brag that they can indict a ham sandwich? Well its true. You may have something they decide they want and poof your house is surrounded by military vehicles. Maybe your neighbor doesn’t like you and calls in a tip that you have guns and drugs in your house. How many times have you read where they shoot first and then find out ooop’s wrong house. Think about that dumbass…
goat herders defeated them in the “stan”. had to give them away to justify the expense.
THE BETTER TO KILL LOYAL AMERICANS WITH
This is the beginning of a war against all the citizens of this country. You don’t comply and they’ll be at your door. Imagine your little 3 year old face down with handcuffs! Wake up people!
If the law enforcement community and or the Military go against the American people, we have them out numbered. Plus do you really think there is enough of them who actually would? I don’t doubt Obama’s motives or the chance it could happen. If it does, Civil War #2! MOLON LABE!!!!!!!!
