These MRAP?s ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions.?
Regardless of the exact number of MRAP?s being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone? yes, definitely. Let?s protect our men and women. On the streets of America? ??
?
?They all have gun ports? Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America??
Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?
2,717 of them? Is this going to be Obama's new motorcade? Are you fucking kidding me?
Guess they want to ready for any Tea Party uprisings! |
Brett... Every major US City has something similar.
You live around LA, right? LA has 'em too - complete with gun ports.
This is nothing new; SWAT teams and local PDs in large cities have always had this. Check this out - they assault rifles too! WTF? Why does the city of San Diego need assault rifles?
Why do they need two thousand of them? I don't know.... Maybe they need a dozen at every major US airport and port and border checkpoint?
