re: PLO on the North Shore!

I can see the value of a police force in having an armored vehicle for a SWAT team, but these MRAPs are horrible vehicles unless you have a legitimate threat from land mines and improvised explosive devices. They are cumbersome, lack mobility in urban areas, lack mobility in rural areas, are difficult for personnel to exit from and enter, and are expensive to maintain. Any police chief or sherif, who supports getting one of these things, competence should be questioned.
