What is the point of reading an article that has already misrepresented its subject matter with a false picture?

Most people aren't willing to read, so we have to have things explained like they did in Berenstain Bears books.

Alex Jones can be over the top. But there is some substance to his topics. It is for a cautious mind to determine and cut threw.

Not all the time.

What they have on out in the field catching illegals might not be what they kick doors down with.

Alex Jones is a cancerous fool. A life that should have been aborted.

From article. This is embarrassing from leadership.



Pulaski County, home to 13,124 people, is one of the counties that have purchased an 55,000 pound, six-wheeled patrol vehicles, from military surplus. When asked to justify the purchase of a former military vehicle, Pulaski County Sheriff Michael Gayer told the Indy Star:

"The United States of America has become a war zone. There's violence in the workplace, there's violence in schools and there's violence in the streets. You are seeing police departments going to a semi-military format because of the threats we have to counteract. If driving a military vehicle is going to protect officers, then that's what I'm going to do."

Ok, BP always carries H&K P2000 pistols. Those appear to be S&W M&P's.

My only issue is the cops getting all this high speed stuff without proper training.


Bingo. There are major metro SWAT teams that receive a high level of specialized training and I would assume are qualified to operate this type of equipment effectively.

The local smokies that dress up in nomex jumpsuits and vests once every two weeks have no business having some of these items in their inventory.
