Militarized Police Officer Oppresses Child Using Armored Tank

[SageVigiles 1,194]

Look at this fascist cop in his militarized uniform, clearly violating this little girl's rights from the top of his armored tank. I don't see any reasonable explanation why law enforcement needs access to these battlefield vehicles...

Wait, what's that? He's rescuing this girl from her apartment because a murder suspect has barricaded himself in another unit within the building? Oh. Nevermind then.

Incident is still ongoing, LAPD SWAT still evacuating apartment units.

Has anyone ever actually seen the military use one of these "militarized" vehicles? Just wondering.

They use M60A1 OR AVLB

Armored vehicle launched bridge

It's similar but it makes a bridge not a ramp

A lot of agencies have begun buying the ramps, great for assaulting multiple levels of a building at once without having to put a SWAT Operator out with a ladder or borrowing a firetruck.
