OK, let’s get accurate. A Personnel Carrier is not a tank. New Orleans did actually have two baby blue M-48 tanks. They were tanks. Obsolete, but still tanks. This is not a tank. Hyperbole in news reporting is not a virtue. Accuracy is.

Wow…they look so ready to “protect and SERVE”….I wonder who they will be serving? By the looks in the picture they seem to be doing some community outreach….you know…being approachable and friendly.

I have to laugh my ass off at the name “The Peacekeeper”…it’s just like calling and gov’t dept a “service”….what an oxymoron.

Want to take bets on how long it will take to find a real use for it? Oh well, it’s just taxpayer money…there’s more where than came from.

Peace through superior firepower!!! The best deterrent to crime is knowing that you will be caught, punished, and maybe cut in half by a fifty-cal round!!

Seriously, there used to be a small amount of fear of messing with the police. Not anymore…hell, it’s a badge of honor to talk trash, fight, and even shoot cops.

Level playing fields don’t work when cops are the only ones following the rules…stack the deck and roll in the hood with a freakin’ APC…let the punks and thugs know they’ve been in a fight…

What you are looking at is the ongoing militarization of police departments. Soon enough they will be called on to enforce more government edicts brought about by FEMA and Homeland Security and citizens will find themselves resting in detention camps. Freedom in the US???? Don’t worry folks – it won’t happen to you….or maybe??????
