Just like some mean federal consumer agency taking away all the lawn darts, Killjoy-In-Chief Barack Obama has ended the practice of sending high-end surplus military equipment to local police departments, which is going to put a real damper on the Mayberry P.D.'s plans for an armored assault on Miss Jennifer and Miss Clarabelle's still.
How is that keeping with the police motto of "I has a rocket launcher"? Now they're going to have to change it again...damn Obama always hating law enforcement.
It would be nice if the police looked a little more like Andy Taylor and less like Robocop. There might be less tension in some of our cities if we had more "serve and protect" and less "occupy and subdue."
Step 1. Due to the heavily armed nature of Americans, we need military response capability.Step 2. Due to the heavily armed nature of state jackbooted thugs, the people need their Second Amendment rights to keep their freedomz.Step 3 see Step 1.
I look forward to the day when some southern town decides to reduce their police force and just supply guns to the citizens. The NRA would be happy, and it would be cheaper to give out guns than it would be to properly train officers. Plus fewer lawsuits involving police.

They're also level 38 on 'call of warfare duty' for the x-station. Even beat the zombie level! That's just like real life, right?

The PD in village nearest me (pop 3500) has one of those Moosetangs too. Just one though. Its two other vehicles appear to be old K-cars.
Or the Brits who managed for centuries without anything more than toy baseball bats.
Ed, is that you?
BZZZZZZZTTT . . . you have fifteen seconds to comply . . .
A perfectly acceptable consequence!
New "Obammer" is a floor wax AND a dessert topping.
It is if you use the original economic meaning for "Shock and Awe".
And this carrot will fuck itself up!
