Cops in Lawrence, IN, have just received a 24-ton MRAP combat vehicle. This type of vehicle they say will be very helpful in case of terrorists, bombings, or mass shootings. (IndyStar: Lawrence police acquire 48,000-pound monster vehicle)
Tip: there has never been a bombing, mass shooting or terrorist attack in Lawrence, IN. Only 46,001 people are living there.
The cops also said the vehicle will be good for dealing with floods as it can get through four feet of water.
Tip: there has never been anything close to a four-foot flood in Lawrence, IN, since the melt off from the last Ice Age.
The example in Lawrence is not isolated and is repeated in multiple departments across that state and the rest of the country. Every Andy Griffith cop from here to Mayberry wants one. (IndyStar: Police officer safety or surplus zeal: Military equipment spurs debate)
Cops in cities probably have no use for these vehicles as they're too big for city streets and it would be like trying to take a bus to a NASCAR race. They're a big hit out in the land of monster trucks and potato guns, tho. There are small towns in Iowa that got one and the cops say it's necessary militarization to deal with the growing violence in America ... but the only militarization these cops would know would be for corn fields to make them stand in straight rows.
There's no way an MRAP can serve anything unless it's the slowest pizza run in human history. It's very unlikely to protect anyone ... except more cops. What it can do is crush Farmer Jones into strawberry paste. Let freedom ring.
