Military equipment to LE suspended

Ah! I wondered how they got such preferential treatment! This explains a lot about both companies.

Me, I'd rather the local PD's got it then GL, as if you're going to give it away, let the PD's sell it after two years and pocket the profit GL usually makes on the deals.

Sangamon County Sheriff's office just got a MRAP with 755 miles on it and 28 tons tare weight. I guess they must have decided to release more of these critters to the LE community. Apparently Sangamon County had to leave the spare set of tires and rims behind, as it would have put the transport truck over road weight limits.....

We, TXDPS swat just picked up 3 MRAPS and about 20, 395 tires

A local PD here in N Florida got an MRAP from Camp Shelby for $2K & drove it home. It is awesome to see driving down the highway, unless you are in front of it going too slow. They bought it for floods & bad weather help, if & when that might happen. Tax dollars @ work!

They bought it so they have the capability of turning anybody's house into another Waco compound.

Closed for multiple reasons.

1 - This thread is two years old
2 - This is an MV site and not a gun site. The original post is about guns
3 - This turned into another MRAP thread. While there is nothing wrong with MRAP threads they go down hill fast
4 - The last post is political so this thread is history. Usually this type of post is what gets all the MRAP threads closed.
