There are various examples in the article of small town police departments obtaining equipment that they don't need in the least bit. |
You just provided a picture of a state trooper TAV. State troopers SHOULD have access to those vehicles. Does back water Nebraska need those? No of course not and frankly anyone who thinks so is crazy.
Lets stay on topic here. Lumping small town police departments acquiring unnecessary military surplus vehicles and a highly trained tactical team dealing with an armed and barricaded murderer together is ridiculous.
