From swords to plowshares.
Veterans shluld be given a plot of land to farm and use these trucks of theirs for farming. They earned them in blood.
We do not need a pharaohnic police force with Chariots to make war against other counties or what not.

Ho hum, and the Posse Comitatus act says "Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

It’s my understanding the PD’s buying these vehicles are getting them below dirt cheap prices. In some cases, they are going for less than 1/10th the original price.

As needed to run over protesting Tea Party members?

Because the Washington government does not approve of Americans setting their police on fire. Policy differs in the Ukraine, Syria, Libya and Egypt.
Slav or Arab Spring: good.
American Spring: bad.

I’m not real sure there are many tea party members in Saginaw.
Maybe, I’m just not certain.

What about the Navy and Coast Guard?

In a tyranny, everyone is a criminal & a lawbreaker, except for the government, and anyone who is a part of the government.

It’s only ‘unstoppable’ until the operator needs to stop to take a whiz.
