Cops unleash 'Armored Beast' vehicle for standard patrols...
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.

Fulton County police Capt. Wade Yates said the vehicle could help in a foot chase.

But the new unit is equipped with thermal imaging for such a time as that, officials said.

Police also said the armored car is meant to reassure residents. Officers are also putting in longer hours and more patrol shifts to increase police presence in the area, the report said.

“The Lenco BearCat … can easily qualify as a necessary tool under several different grant programs, from disaster response to crime fighting,” it said.

The BearCat G3 offers 7.62 AP/.50 caliber BMG Protection, with V-Hull Design and Blast Seats available as an upgrade.

What does this story have to do with Obama?

I'm pretty sure he didn't personally tell this police department to start using armored tanks.

I especially like this line:

Police also said the armored car is meant to reassure residents

Yup, I am only reassured when I see tanks & drones & military men with 3 burst M16's walking down my street...

Thank the government, I am now reassured...

no doubt these assault vehicles are being purchased with allocated federal funds.

What was that old, now outdated saying by some guy referring to familiarizing yourself with the chains of bondage?
Job 12:7) But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
8) Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

Doesn't look like it can take much of a blast either.
