Absolutely know reason for police to have armored vehicles of war. This is not a battle zone. Wait what’s this!
Damn good thing they were in this unit
@5:14 you'd better get out of your lilly white gated community and see what America's streets really look like. IT'S ABSOLUTELY A WAR ZONE
Who cares if they had armored vehicles. The man just killed two people for no reason!!!
Terrible how they killed that poor "jogger" who was simply defending himself against two 85 YO white racists visiting their veteran son's grave site. Gee - I wonder why this is not national news.
It took two weeks to release this info?
GREAT work guys - thank you and I am glad you had the proper equipment to protect yourselves from this racist killer.
I thought they found the sniped dead. No idea -- the sniper shot at the police. Media never seems to get it straight.
Glad LEO's are safe and were able to defend themselves without getting hurt.
If it took a combat vehicle to do it, be glad they had one.
Another innocent 'jogger' defending himself against nursing home patients. That poor jogger ! - and those evil wacist nursing home residents!

In the MSM news? Not likely.
Hope we have a vehicle like this painted pink for Salisbury!
one less commie democrat on the planet!
Typical Black on White violent crime here. Nothing to see it will be forgotten in no time. Doesn't fit the MSM narrative (and Lebron's) that white people are hunting blacks.
The motive was simple. He was black and they were white. Reason enough?
