Outside of the larger cities, anything that cannot be handled by the community (up to Parish/County) officers with ordinary gear (body armor, pistols, shotguns) and a small (8 to 12) tactical response team, should be handled by the state or federal authorities, as applicable.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail. Military equipment in local law enforcement hands is just asking for super high speed equipment being used to serve low risk warrants ("for officer safety") and puts regular citizens at risk.
