Even mine-resistant armored vehicles wtf.
Why do American police use military grade weapons and equipment?

They get them for free from the department of defense. One MRAP went through 5 departments in my home state because they couldn't afford the maintenance kek.
Easton Parker
The federal gov sells it to them for cheap when they don't need it anymore. Sometimes it's free.
American criminals were pretty ballsy in the 90s. even now we had a massive shootout after a bank robbery here recently. Like 4 people died.
Nolan Kelly
Police are authoritarians, especially the city police. They like to LARP as big boy military and think they're different from regular civilians.
And the military industrial complex is perfectly OK with feeding into their insecurities, because what else are you going to do with these over-armored vehicles now that there's no Afghanistan?
David Hughes
it would be cheaper to get just used police car/car for 1000 $ but the point is police don't like getting shot too. they need vehicles like that.
shooting is quite common, most american posters can hear gun shots in right now
Brody Roberts
That one guy that made an armoured vehicle and go for a ride in his neighborhood.
Logan Perez
kek, they end up here eventually.
Andrew Cook
>what else are you going to do with these over-armored vehicles now that there's no Afghanistan?
Give them to the Taliban?
Eli Long
I wish they were legal to use for civilians and I would trade my Ford Raptor. DoD might not need my shekels
Noah Watson
>Ford raptor
guess you're used to your engine blowing up and needing expensive repairs

Levi Kelly
No.
The police get them free from the dod.
Joshua Watson
Burger cops love to LARP as actual soldiers.
Some even LARP as speshul forces.
Sebastian Martin
You guys are the only ones who make the manliest trucks, so I can live with that
Blake Hill

Andrew Morgan
The military donates them to swat teams
Landon King
when did Houston get so violent?
Adam Bennett
>Houston
Isn't that in Texas? Literally just suburbs and shit where nothing happens. Would hate to see how bad it gets in real metropolitan/urban areas.
Oliver Ward
Get them free from the government because the military doesn't want them
They're basically white elephants, expensive to maintain and with almost no practical use for police work.
Logan Nguyen
>Isn't that in Texas
they have cities as well.
And Houston has gotten really violent really quick.
