MRAPs justified by domestic terror threat, claims Officer Steve Rabinovich
In an article for popular law enforcement website PoliceOne.com, Officer Steve Rabinovich writes that the controversial use of militarized vehicles in domestic law enforcement situations is necessary to deal with the threat posed by “anti-government groups.”
Rabinovich boasts an impressive list of credentials, with his assignments including Emergency Response Team, Crisis Intervention, ERU, Mounted and dignitary details. Rabinovich also teaches other police and emergency medical responders at his state’s technical college system.
Acknowledging that law enforcement bodies have received “criticisms from their communities” for utilizing the Department of Defense’s 1033 Program to acquire militarized vehicles previously used to hunt insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rabinovich cites domestic terrorism and “a steady increase in deadly and violent assaults on cops” as good reasons for police departments acquiring MRAPs and other military gear.

bring it on...
Militarized vehicles can't protect them 24/7. They gotta go home sooner of later. I'm with 1:36-bring it on. You're outnumbered at least a thousand to one, and everyone will be "anti government" when you boys bring on the artillery. There will be plenty of dead kops lying along side the dead citizens when it's all said and done.
That ("anti-government groups") is what the British used to call Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and their buddies.
And, today, there must be a WHOLE LOT of those kinds of people for the "pro-government" Gestapo to think they need military equipment to deal with them.
Believe this -when the "anti-government" groups decide they've had enough, all the military equipment and all the King's men won't stand a chance.
Outnumbered by a thousand to one??? lol! Closer to 100,000 to one.....history shows it will be more of a slaughter than an battle.
Keep cheering.
