LOL. We both know that relating NYPD to the rest of the country is a stretch in nearly every category. 
Seriously, everyone of these articles the LEA/CLEO makes it sound like, "we have an MRAP now, we're going to crush crime with it". And a determined criminal who needs to get that vehicle out of the equation will need to use a serious IED to do it. Shit that hasn't been dealt with in this country except on the rarest of occasions. With MRAPs in every county and municipality, bad guys will come up with ways to deal with them.

LE has had armor for years, but now there's a new trend in showing it off like they're warfighters because they got an MRAP. New trend? My department was doing that 30 years ago with their stupid armored vehicle. LOL. We both know that relating NYPD to the rest of the country is a stretch in nearly every category.

Quoted:
There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the police become militarized, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. Sir Robert Peel's principles of policing: To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws. To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives. To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion; but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour; and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence. To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty. To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them. +1 Thanks for posting!

See that's the reaction that I've never understood that some people in LE have. If you don't agree with the excess of something like this then somehow you're categorized as a cop hater. I don't hate cops. Cops are great and I respect the hell out of what they do. I just don't agree with the mentality that if you don't want them to have something it must mean that you're anti-police. |

Making explosives is not overly complicated, one just has to be willing to risk (a) getting caught and/or (b) a mistake. I bet KeithJ could make several different kinds with readily available stuff, and some seriously nasty shit with a little bit of organized effort right now. And anyone can learn how to. It's just that no one really NEEDS to...yet. |

How much training, if any, do the police get on how to operate and maintain these things?
IIRC there was a steep and tragic learning curve on MRAPS when people used to driving hummers starters collapsing weak road shoulders and/or rolling them because of the high Cg.

And yes, not many basements in FL, esp where I used to live. Not every potential solution is applicable in every situation. Also, I'm not advocating these thing be in civilian police force inventory. If you have seen anything I've said about them, it's been very negative about the whole situation. I'm mad at the DOD for getting rid of them for such a pittance, after we paid for them to the tune of $700k a piece (I was glad that our troops had them, but damn).......but according to more knowledgeable sources than I, a Maxxpro shares a lot with a dump truck. pull the armor off, scrap it, and sell the chassis for a little less whatever a rolling dump truck chassis goes for. We would make up a great deal more of our expenses, which would probably pay some government drones salary for a year or 2, instead of be a drop in the bucket. |
