Why do America's police need an armored tank?

Quote from IanMacQuaide:

I've heard "rumors" of this from my buddies in LE. Never heard about the "take orders from Da Gubmint" tho...:eek:

I just spoke with the shift commander from the County Sheriff's Department in my area who is also a Friend. He said, "our guys were told they are expected to be able to work hand and hand with the US Military and carry out lawful orders from military commanders."

He also said he wants to retire soon! Lol! The entire scenario is a scary thing though.

The problem with this sort of over the top equipment is that they will look for excuses to use them.

Just like every two-bit county sheriff's office now has to have a bunch of Barney Fife's pretending to be SWAT teams. Rather than go out during the day to arrest somone, they assemble the "Team" and go in guns blazing at 3AM. The problem is, most of the time they are doing this because some kid is growing a couple of pot plants. They see "Major Narcotics Bust."

stimuluses didnt work that well. Now ending, coming recession will be deep. So they expect some sort of revolt.

triggers may be some kind of bankers story, trucking out jobs, etc,etc.

Like I said, I paid my way through college as a police officer. Any time we went on a search warrant, a dog was usually inside, or in the back yard. NONE of us ever had to shoot a dog, and I've been bitten by an actual "mean" dog. All I had to do was grab the dog by the collar, and twist it holding him down while he calmed down. After one of the guys searched the bathroom, I dragged the dog in there by the collar and shut the door while he barked and scratched the door.

The dog in the clip wasn't a mean dog at all. Probably just scared to death, and in a semi protective mode protecting his family as he knows to do by barking. I heard no growling or snapping! All I can say after watching that clip is I am so pissed off I could eat glass!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Those are NOT real cops, they are terrorists!!!!!!!! If that was my house, I'd take the arrest, then when I got out, I'd be paying a visit to the home of the "police officer" who decided to kill my dog. Oh no, I wouldn't hurt him or his family. He would just need a new home after the unfortunate fire! I may be a crazy Italian, but I'm one who has a good memory!

Guarantee you that after a few of those worthless bastards got my message, they'd think twice about pulling that kind of shit again!!!!!!!!!! Jesus, I need to go hit the punching bag now!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Wonder just how much longer the people of the US are going to put up with shit like this going on everyday? Out of control BIG government, out of control "lawmakers," out of control judicial "system," out of control local governments... Pure terrorism going on these days at the hands of those who are supposed to be serving, but instead are terrorizing...

Agreed! Law enforcement in general in the US is totally out of control! Gotta love them breaking down someone's door, pushing machine gun barrels in the family's face all over someone growing pot in the house. Insanity! These departments are so out of control, it boggles my mind! I remember the police equipment magazines that were always in the head at the police station when I was a little younger going through college. They were the run of the mill stuff: lights, sirens, gun belts, boots, shoes, knives, mace, hats, handcuffs, etc.,

Fast forward to today, and I open a police equipment magazine that was in the cruiser of one of my cop friends, and these were my exact words when I flipped through it in horror: "You mean to tell me that all of this military style shit is necessary? They're pitching all of this "break the door down" kind of equipment, flash bang grenades, etc., and not to mention the clothing has switched from the wool (or cheaper polyester) uniform to knee pads, elbow pads, zip tie style handcuffs so EVERYONE can get arrested or at least restrained, tactical gloves, goggles, kevlar helmets, machine gun barrel lights... Basically full on combat wear. What the hell is going on?" He said, "times sure have changed as far as tactics go." I agree. The tactics now are pure gestapo!:mad:
 
We are becoming a full fledged police state. The problem is the internet, as Rockefeller said, it's a shame it was ever invented. 20 years ago no one knew what the federal reserve was and the media was fully controlled by the elite of the world. Today, because of the internet and uncontrolled media, the truth is spreading. People like Ron Paul, who love America and freedom, actually have a chance of being elected. People are calling for the Fed reserve to be abolished.


This is a big pain for the Elite, and they're going to have to crack down. This is why the police are getting heavy weapons, the military is already patrolling the country, and there are over 800 secret prisons already built in America. All fully functional, all completely empty.


Did you know, that according to the DHS, if some one refers to the constitution of the United States several times, they are a terrorist. True fact. Something scary is brewing.
