The nation gaped at the sight of a military-grade Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle trundling through Ferguson, but it turns out that was relatively restrained policing. Relative, that is, to San Diego, where police will use a similar steel behemoth for the citys schools.
The San Diego Unified School District Police Department has acquired its own vehicle, known as a MRAP, and expect it to be operational by October.

At some point, it goes beyond worrisome and becomes just creepy. What are they planning?
Well ... it was free!
Oh, nothing. Just supporting the community.
If these are now going to be tanks, then what are we going to call tanks?
There is no question that something is up and somebody is preparing for that eventuality.
But there’s no money to control the border? Right.
There’s supposed to be fence. Where is it?
There’s plenty of money to fly illegal aliens to the US destination of their choice and to militarize the police of every burg & ville and apparently even school districts but NOT to control the border.
History gives you the answer.
Just study what all Marxist dictatorship/Oligarchies do to their political 'dissidents' and you will get an idea of what they are planning.
Or Youtube Larry Grathwol's investigation on what Obama's handlers, architects and enablers had planned to do to millions of us and you can get an idea on what they are planning.
But most refuse to see it because most dismiss it as an impossibility, while the evidence that it is about to become reality is hiding in plain sight.
That's the problem right there. Why does a public school district need it's own police department in the first place?
Officer Friendly's new car!
I wonder how Molotov cocktail resistant it is...
Us who lean libertarian have been scorned and mocked by folks on this forum over dog shootings and the military take over ofcthecpolice forces.
Just to be clear, there was no MRAP on the streets of Ferguson and here are the agencies that have them, none of which is even close to Ferguson or assisted Ferguson.

The armored vehicles present were Bearcats from St. Louis County, St. Louis City, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Wonder how hard it would be for a group of people to form a small town, incorporate it and start doing the paperwork for these toys.
You gotta know that the Gov don’t check all the paperwork.
Jesus H. There is no local police agency in the United states that possesses a tank.
They are armored vehicles. Not muthereffing tanks.
Perhaps the bullets travel slower here & are less dangerous than anywhere else in the world. Is that why police can’t have armored protection?
Police having access to MRAPs is fine with me as long as average, law-abiding Americans have access to them, too if they so choose (and have the money). See my tagline...
