I watched this video and could not believe what the officer in charge describes the purpose of this armored vehicle. Listen very carefully to what the DHS officer is saying, you should be very concerned.
- It's basically bomb proof.
- Weighs 15 tons
- Tires will not run flat.
- Top Speed of 70 MPH.
- Four side Gun Ports for operators.
- Bullet proof windows including 50 caliber .
- Side rails for officers for rapid deployment.
- He comments we can support teams in other states if needed.
- Used to serve special warrants.
- Built for urban assault on US Soil.
Why would we need these ominous assault teams and vehicles in our streets?
Who are the decision makers for the warrants?
What are warrantable offenses?
There is no room for detainees in the vehicle so were will the hold those arrested?
Comments
These armored vehicles are not made for riot control, they are equipped with items specifically designed for URBAN WARFARE.
A 50 CAL Machine gun according to the Geneva and Hague Conventions is not to be used as an Anti-Personnel weapon. It is designated as an anti-aircraft, and light armor weapon. Again, the DHS has ordered a weapons system that is primarily used to wage war and not for civil disobedience or riots... Hollow point bullets are also against the Geneva and Hague Conventions but DHS and an assortment of government agencies have ordered over 1.2 billion hollow point rounds.
