Please don't get me started Ron!! It was bad enough when they started getting M114's etc.Just wondering why local law enforcement needs a MRAP which is designed for urban warfare, is there something we should know.
No need to worry we have a bunch of them here in LA painted black. I always thought these were for high speed pursuitsJust wondering why local law enforcement needs a MRAP which is designed for urban warfare, is there something we should know.
Why do you need an M819 which was designed for recovering downed aircraft? Why does anyone need a bandana? Their only purpose is for disguise during a bank robbery. I don't expect all of you outside of law enforcement to completely understand but gheez, foil hats? These are not federal agencies. Be more concerned with DHS and their ammo purchase.Just wondering why local law enforcement needs a MRAP which is designed for urban warfare, is there something we should know.
The suburban probably came from from a federal program also. But just because they can get it doesn't mean they should . Para-military police forces are not a good thing and it's no tin foil hat just read the news . Just look at the things that have happened in the Detroit Police Dept. in recent years .What did the armored suburban cost that agency? Probably more than the MRAP cost swat435's department. They take what they can get, and right now they can get MRAPs.
Law enforcement has an obvious need & use for them; civilians not so much. Unless you negotiate directly with the manufacturer.OK, explain to me why the Gov won't sell them on GL? I've been shot at before and it wasn't combat and I am not LEO, so don't I have the right to have one for protection?
Very nice sir; I hope your agency has the funds to keep it maintained & running...all too often I see equipment like this left sitting around for years at a time, some agencies don't have the money to keep the vehicles operational for training.View attachment 454917
Picked this up today from Camp Shelby, MS. through the LESO Program. Drove it back home 250 miles with no issues.
Total thumbs up!Why do you need an M819 which was designed for recovering downed aircraft? Why does anyone need a bandana? Their only purpose is for disguise during a bank robbery.

Oh, the MRAP is more designed to protect occupants, not deliver munitions. We have M1s and Bradleys for that.
All you need to do is be on a perimeter of a barricaded suspect holed up in a meth lab and you will see why the protection is needed.
This happens more than you think.
