[QUOTE="donner, post: 2748817, member: 277"] I wondered how long it'd take for people to get around to blaming Obama for doing something that many have been suggesting for a while. Wasn't there a thread several months back discussing the police use of these toys in some depth? Specifically how police tactics were changing so as to use the toys, rather than using approaches that had been employed in the past (i.e. Using no-knock entries rather than arresting someone as they left their house)? Also, you'd think that the police never handled a riot before being given all their new toys. And, for that matter, isn't Obama actually just banning the sale of cheap surplus items that the feds own? I wonder how many PDs will look much more closely at the need for an armored vehicle if it has to pony up at full price. Remember, if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. [/QUOTE]
