The second-largest school district in California is raising eyebrows after its police force recently acquired a military-grade armored vehicle.
The San Diego Unified School District now has a 14-ton M-RAP — short for mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle — that American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan usually ride into combat to protect them against explosives.
The $700,000 tank was donated to the school district under a military program that distributes surplus military equipment to local police agencies.
The federal initiative has come under heavy criticism after police in Ferguson, Missouri, used military weapons usually reserved for trained US Marines against regular citizens protesting the shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, 18.
