FORT PIERCE, Fla. - Of the 60,000 cities in this country one of the top ranked for gun violence is on the Treasure Coast. New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore and Miami are among the top. Coming in at number 56 is the relatively small city of Fort Pierce where there were 150 shootings this past year.
Now their police officers say they are using military type tactical equipment to fight crime. The new MRAP looks like a tank on wheels.

This was an interesting set of interviews. With that said, the more these guys arm themselves like the military and the more of them that act like the military, the more likely they are going to start seeing us as the enemy.

Disconcerting, very disconcerting.
