It's not the police state, its a full military state we're hurtling towards, and I never used to buy into this Alex Jones crap.

hurtling


Never mind, that's an actual word? I always thought it was "hurling" as in being thrown.

Well when people walk into pizza places and Starbucks and start shooting officers for no reason, what do you expect?

hurtle - to move at great speed uncontrollably.

hurl - to throw or fling.

The first picture you posted is of a USMC vehicle and the second picture is of Border Patrol Agents likely on a SWAT operation dealing with illegals and NOT a local police force. Your post obviously has an agenda.

The first picture is from the first article.

The second picture is from the second article.

Maybe the authors have an agenda.

VICE just did a segment on this.

This is only happening b/c all the extra money out there.

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

Your typical beat cops should not be rolling around is SF type equipment when they have to be called on for swat type stuff. Elite swat units or federal agencies sure they need it and I have no problem with it. But when you see the dude who has had too many jelly filled donuts rolling around looking like a navy seal I have issues. These guys clearly lack the training to mess with this stuff.

I don't need pictures to know this.

It's pretty obvious to anyone with their heads out of the clouds that the most dangerous street gang in America closely resembles a third world military.

I hope they get these protectors and servers involved in the war on poverty soon enough.

I can't wait to see what the propagandists come up with then.

Well they do have military type unit badges which BP and ICE use when in tactical gear.

Maybe you are getting confused with Customs

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

In all seriousness though, there are enough pics of riot gear cops and SWAT teams that you shouldn't have to reach for pics like this.

Hell, just look how they go full blown SWAT on non-violent drug dealers.

Except that it's not just at the USMC anymore. These MRAP are coming to a police force near you...

And the number of swat teams have been increasing nationwide...

We are getting close to a police state...

No, BP always has their insignia in yellow on their body armor.
