Quick shoutout to @Black_Samson I couldn't find his older thread on this exact topic of the militarization of police and specifically the use of military vehicle on America streets.
So I was just watching CNN coverage on Ferguson and to my very shockingly surprise I spotted a Bearcat. Now all you folks who haven't served might ask what exactly is a Bearcat. Simple its a armored military vehicle that can withstand small arms fire, IEDS, and potential RPG fire and usually mounted with a 50. cal. So What exactly is it doing roaming America streets? The better question is why is it acceptable to drive around when their is no clear threat present. Also should note that they currently are in complete tactical gear full on camo.

People need to invest in sniper rifles and pick these fools off when they are patrolling.

Chicago people are either really enjoying or hating not being in the spotlight for a change..

Imagine what NYPD might have.

I think the reason people weren't believing you at first was because they just haven't seen any picture proof even though it's been well documented that the dod and pentagon were selling off equipment they weren't using anymore

They sent the military surplus to smaller cities. Huffington post & gawker covered this about 3-4 months ago.

Tbh, if it were a federal law for all cops t be equipped with video/audio recorder, half of these incidents would not occur. Images are very powerful -
Be tryin' to tell MFs about these cops.
Can't front, most people on here know the deal except for a few willfully ignorant MFs who kept defending their ? ? . Most of those scary MFs are conveniently absent or quiet in the Mike Brown thread.
They probably at the precinct awaiting orders. -

I sometimes would like to do this to cops and white folks....dont ask me why cause i dont need a reason tired of both. -
Im just hoping all this aint for nothing. All the lil municiplities of STL (Florissant, Ferguson, St. Ann, Jennings, all within 15min of each other)have reigned with an iron fist for years. Profiling, false arresting, rough handling, etc. I hope that changes after all this.

Remember how the rednecks stood toe to toe with the feds at cliven Bundy's ranch with guns pointed in defense of a muthafucka whose been consistently breaking the law since the 90s?
With zero repercussions..... Yeah
