Why Do The Philadelphia Police Have 1,356 Full-Auto M-16s? Posted on April 18, 2013 by Robert Farago
“An automatic M-16 rifle is missing from one of the Philadelphia Police Department’s main gun-storage units and Commissioner Charles Ramsey has called in federal authorities to investigate,” philly.com reports. ”Obviously, this is very, very serious,” Ramsey said. “And believe me, we will get to the bottom of it, one way or another, I guarantee that.” Cops lose gun. Cops go crazy trying to find it before it turns into another Fast and Furious Brian Terry deal. Another day, another example of why cops should not have a monopoly on the use of ballistic force. OK, it is a fully-automatic “assault rifle” that went walkies. But here’s the bit that caught my editorial eye . . .

They were supposed to have 10,000 but they`re all on backorder.
Yep!
Mayor Goode APPROVED of the bombing.
Supposedly, the cops fired 10,000 rounds into the Move house. When you need to exert that sort of firepower against a house containing women and children, fully automatic weapons are a must.

“Why Do The Philadelphia Police Have 1,356 Full-Auto M-16s?”
Really not the question is it?
The question should be, why in the name of (pick one) do you and I not have one, and have ridiculous anti Bill of Rights requirements and cost that make it damn near impossible to have one.
The 1986 law limits the number available so that it would be virtually impossible for everyone to have one, and that is unconstitutional. Like that has anything to do with it.
If I was really vindictive I would blam the NRA.
I believe the dog is a German Mastiff

Because they’re afraid for their own lives.
“Is this the same Ramsey who was Washington D.C. police chief?”

That is one scary looking dog.
If the DOD’s 1033 program provided 17000 police Dept’s fully automatic M16’s I sure would like to know where Connecticut ended up.Since we’re told that we shouldn’t need a semi-automatic sporting rifle.
I wish the NRA or Gun owners of America would file a Freedom of Information Request to get that info.
What movie is that from ?
I wonder if you could get one custom made: SAFE, SEMI, ROCK
Which is why people should have landlines and CBs or xmt/rcv devices available.
I'm not sure but I'd guess it's so the people murdering everyone else in Philadelphia won't come after them.
I’d call it a Dalmatian or a Dal mix
That would be the biggest Dalmatian I’ve ever seen.
