via the American Thinker...A MUST READ!
PVI Alpha and the Golan MRAPs. As one person stated, they have armor that is equal to that of a WW2 main battle tank and can mount heavy machine guns. These are battle weapons...not law enforcement tools. Information has it that they have a new contract that has them buying Lenco Bearcats.
They're being used by portions of the Marine Corps (which parts I can't determine), Navy, Air Force, and reportedly FBI. They're also a favorite of local law enforcement (by means of grants). I'm still looking but it almost appears that this is the new standard law enforcement assault vehicle.
Is it time to start asking questions yet?
According to 2011 Census data, the U.S. has nine cities with populations over one million, and twenty-five more with populations over half a million, but under a million. Let us assign thirty armored vehicles to each of the megacities, and fifteen to each city between half a million and a million. That would be 645 vehicles. Now, for each of the next forty-one cities, down to a quarter million citizens, let us designate ten vehicles, i.e., 410 altogether. That makes 1,055. For the smaller cities, down to a bare one hundred thousand (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma), let's provide five each, or 1,050. That makes the total 2,105.We have provided armored vehicles for all 285 cities in the United States, and we still have almost 600 left over for town and rural duty. And of course this is accounting for only the single order of vehicles that DHS is known to have made. No doubt further acquisitions are planned.What makes this acquisition of vehicles so menacing is the type of vehicles that are being used.
