Police add mine resistant military vehicles to fleets around Oklahoma

It's for the children...

In another thread elsewhere a comment was made about the government needing a standing army to "protect" us since none of us could afford to buy the equipment to do this ourselves. At $2500 (what I am being forced to pay to the thieving government by April 15 on top of what I already had stolen from me beforehand), I think I could come up with that amount if I cut back on my weekly visits to Hooters. Regardless, you guys are outgunned by just about every government "police" agency in existence with the possible exception of the dog catcher. Keep on supporting these vile government workers to keep you safe... tell me how it works for you in the future. No cure for stupid...

Id have loved to have one during the tornados last year. Even with a 4wd I had large areas I couldnt effectively access due to downed trees and power poles. I got to them finally but it took time that a few people didnt have to spare....
Other than that its pretty much eye candy..

Well, that was a disappointing read. Thanks for making my evening.

A few thoughts..

1) If the poleece decide to stand with us when the time comes, is this really a bad thing? Serious question.

2) At my federal tax rate I figure I'm providing about 4.+ of these to said poleece.

3) I'd like to have a MRAP, but I'd rather have an A-10 that apparently is no longer needed. What forms do I need to fill out?

Anything I would say to this thread would get me banned due to the fact that I don't like the smell of boot leather!

That first one is a pretty BIG "if"

I'm as concerned about the militarization of police as the next guy, but is it really? I think that here in Oklahoma the result might even be a bit better.

I'm pretty sure, just like firearms, if the PDs decide they don't want these MRAPs anymore they have to be dispo'd back to Uncle Sam....they PDs don't own them outright so they can't sell them, but dumping them on the PDs does save storage and maint costs on the fed side.

If they are like some of the equipment I've bought from Government Liquidations.com, they require a form to be filled out that has them do a background check to make sure the Vietnam Era trailer won't be made into a weapons systems platform.

Yes, I have one, and if its ever sold the buyer has to go through the same check. Gotta lub our gubberment.
