Quoted: Heads should roll for buying that.... Neither PD spent a dime acquiring those vehicles. They're on loan from the Army provided that the agencies keep up with all maintenance and relinquish "the keys" on demand. Army gets free storage and upkeep, your local PD gets a giant fucking money pit. |

Or worse you have you replace a seal or someone and have to pull all that damn armor plating off just get to damn thing never mind having to actually pull the seal on a one of a kind SUV that no local guy around these parts has worked on. It can add up real quick. |
