Police in one Atlanta community are taking extraordinary measures to deal with heightened rates of violent crime – the unleashing of armored vehicles capable of withstanding bullets fired from AK-47s.

Originally reported by WSB Atlanta, police are using an armored vehicle normally used by SWAT teams to battle a series of burglaries and home invasions in a south Fulton County neighborhood.

If a robot policeman fires on a black man (caught in a criminal act) can he claim profiling, racism and discrimination?

withstanding bullets fired from AK-47s.

Sure, but general Molotov has a solution. Works every time it's tried (if you don't have a LAW or RPG).

5.56mm

Time for another round of "Military or Police?":

What good is that thing for combatting home invasions? What next APCs mounting 20mm guns? This isn’t about crime, it’s about turning a country into a prison.

It's actually easy, type <img src="IMAGE_URL"> where IMAGE_URL is the location of the image.
Be warned however, the use of HTML means that the auto-formatting does not apply, so text[ENTER][ENTER]here would render as "texthere" rather than:
"text

here"

Also, there's a FreeRepublic [TreeView] script for the GreaseMonkey FireFox plug-in which lets you hit Ctrl+Shift+I to insert an image (a dialog pops up where you can put the URL in; it's useful to have already copied it into the clipboard so you can just paste it in [Ctrl+V].)

I’ll take Military for $200, Alex. None of the guys are obese enough to be cops.

Thank you. I was looking for the Deathmobile. It took 19 posts!

[dragnet2]

Get out of Atlanta as fast as possible!

[piroque]

Molotov Cocktails will work wonders on those mobile ovens

” If a robot policeman fires on a black man (caught in a criminal act) can he claim profiling, racism and discrimination?”

“The area where the BearCat G3 is being deployed is roughly 81 percent black.”

I’d say there’s a good possibility of that happening.

what's next, Hard Trucks???

[UCANSEE2]

I don't know, but we're gonna need Hard Cars.

I prefer the "Problem Solver" (as long as we are going with relics)

Maybe they can shoot 200 dogs.

This is news? Back in 1970 the police of CAIRO ILL rolled out a home made armored personel carrier and dubbed it THE WAR WAGON.

[Chode]

i heard that...

[Blueflag]

You are right about that area!

And i guarantee there is one attribute every criminal in that neighborhood has in common.

Care to guess?
