Oakland Police Department's new toy

[Earth_First]

...WHY

[AmazingSchnitzel]

1. Harder to climb on?

[Earth_First]

2. Pssst, your agenda is showing... n/t

[AmazingSchnitzel]

9. You asked why...

... and that's the answer I gave.

If you just wanted a cop bashing thread you should have been more clear. I'm sure I could have found some outrage for you.

[bluerum]

3. Is that a fuel tank mounted under the drivers door?

[Earth_First]

6. That's the first thing that jumped at me too...

MAJOR design flaw.

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. A thin spun-aluminum one. n/t

[yellowcanine]

11. I don't see how that is a fuel tank. Water tank for water cannon?

[lunatica]

4. The police state really likes to show off doesn't it?

[Bolo Boffin]

5. Don't want no short-dick deputies. n/t

[quinnox]

8. Damn, do those Oakland police want some tanks too?

WTF is that thing supposed to be? Looks like a left over extra out of the Road Warrior movie.

[Dawson Leery]

10. Because the Oakland Police are yellow (overpaid) cowards

who cannot deal with a couple of protesters on their own.

[Life Long Dem]

12. I would hope this is to keep the peace.

But I have to say WOW! And if not used to keep the peace then I could use the vehicle for some four wheeling.

On second look, it looks more like a tank.

14. if u mean by free speech;

stifle dissent. Then yes u r correct.

[phasma ex machina]

13. Vehicular Viagra?

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Not Police...it is marked Sheriff...

So that would be ...county, right?
Minor quibble, since Oakland uses force from all around the area.
