In view of the police in Ferguson, Missouri playing war games with its unwilling citizens ...

... thanks you disinformation, I can now see how police departments in my own counties will execute their non-white  residents with their army surplus -

You just know the arms corporations are loving getting live data on the usage on all their weapons - talk about excellent customer feedback! Too bad the actual real customer experience is downright shitty.

And hey, since they don't have to waste time flying them overseas for the regular armed forces to use them bombing other countries into the stone ages (they don't actually have to pay for that - since the US taxpayer foots that bill), it's overall a lot cheaper to obtain it.

Seriously - what's a 'mine resistant vehicle' and why does a cop in Seattle or anywhere in else in King County need one?
