No More Militarized Cops

As numerous law enforcement agencies across the United States begin enrolling large armored vehicles into the force, pockets of resistance are forming among some communities concerned with the trend.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the federal government has been granting armored vehicles like BearCats to cities and towns since the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. Additionally, about 200 vehicles designed to survive landmines and other explosions have also been distributed across the country, with another 750 requests pending.

This is an unneeded waste bought with grant money just like the Salisbury Fire Boat. What a waste of hard earned tax dollars that people like Rick Hoppes and these wannabe cops drool over. A good mayor would have kicked these chiefs to the curb. What a pansy ass Homo Jim Ireton is. When is the last time that fire boat has been dispatched on a fire? NEVER and it's been over 3 years.

Total wanton waste. Jim told me he wants to be buried in the city park with his arse sticking up out of the ground so people have a place to park thier bikes.
