This Should Piss You Off

Ok, so I'm looking at the news and this caught my eye. Read it. Or at least look at the map.

Small towns... Armored vechiles?!?!?!

 

What the hell? Why does Tennessee have 30 of these things and New York only has 9. Why does Wisconnsin have 24 of these things while PA only has 7? Why are you arming the the local police departments in the South with armored units Mr. Government? Next thing we will know is the local police department will be driving downtown with M1 Abrams.

 

...I bearly trust my life with a cop the way it is.

What the hell...

These vehicles are paid by the public and then they turn around and give them away for free? These are MRAP vehicles which are mine resistant armored trucks. I know the US is very unstable but I haven't seen IEDs go off in the US. This is way overkill.

Something does not add up.

On top of that, War winding down? Are you shitting me? Your about to go back into Iraq and most likely you will go somewhere else within ten years so why are you selling... oh excuse me, giving... your hardware away?

Uh, what? What the heck do you mean by give away? They were sent to American cities. It is still owned by America, what's the problem?

What? What are we supposed to do with vehicles that have more capability than we can use? Not use them for anything?

The simple answer for all of your questions is sell them to allied countries like the US has done in the past. We don't need a fucking MRAP. Police are already on too much of a power trip.

Side: What the hell...

I see the've come up with a better use for surplus military vehicles than to send them straight to the scrapyard.

Side: What the hell...

What can I say? I tend to be rather pro-military.

Side: MORE ARMORED VECHILES!
