A Decade After 9/11, Police Departments Are Increasingly Militarized

[Evil Robot II]

You know I have been thinking this over. Perhaps we are getting to militarized in the way police do things but for the most part this story seems to be bashing the Lenco APC that the government has been buying for police departments. You have to look at it from the cops point of view. They have a crazed gunman(s) but theres no APC you can drive up to and shoot him with because people "felt a bit uncomfortable" knowing there was an armored vehicle in the same county WAA WAA WAA!! CRYBABY!!!!. Now the officer only has a department store shotgun and what amounts to a modified taxi for a vehicle. Criminals know the limitations of police and it's not hard to one up them if crazy enough.
