This is what my buddy keeps in the trunk of his cruiser at all times. This is kind of a small town, without a heck of a lot of crime. He is a former ranger, and currently on the SWAT team and dive team.  By the way, this is the same deputy from my other thread. |

Negative, but I noticed that the brass on the shotgun shells was kind of rusty, so I doubt he uses it very often. |

You mean shotguns and accurate, scoped rifles are used by the police to kill ... people?
These weapons of war must be banned for the good of the country! No civilian needs this kind of firepower! |

I am sure he really appreciates you posting a pic of his unit ... complete with the actual unit number and another beside it with the agency name conveniently visible ... on the wide open web ... so the thieves will at least know what they are going to get for Christmas when they get into his trunk.
Fucking Duh dude ...  Think. |

Littleton is FAR from being a small town. It's a suburb of Denver and it's pretty close to some shady areas. I agree with you in theory, but that sounds like a line out of "Bowling for Columbine". |

Oh. Okay. Maybe I was a little too gruff with ya. Seriously bud, your friend has some nice weapons. You might wanna ask him about the ARF post before someone sends that to the Sheriff because they will cank his ass right off the team if word gets out that he or his friends are allowing that stuff to be posted on the web. A Columbine or Paducah can happen anywhere, anytime ... big or small no matter. |

I don't believe his guns and toys were provided at taxpayer expense. Can you really not see the difference? I personally don't fault the deputy for anything personally - better to have and not need than need and not have, after all. Still. when people use asinine logic, I have to step in. |

If you had noticed the other thread, the M4 was purchased by the officer with his own funds for $4k years ago. If the MP5 was purchased by his spuad, they probably spent less than $900 on it. Which would be less that what the Rem. 700 pictured cost. He is a SWAT officer after all... that could mean one of many things. My county doesn't have a SWAT team, but the quad county area does. His county may also have a large jail. Excess funds may go back into the law enforment agents trying to do their jobs. |

So by your logic, he needs to be prepared for any occurance no matter that past experience dictates that the situation won't occur. That's an easy attitude when you spending other's money. |

WTF are you talking about "waste"?Why don't you go into the SWAT forum on this site and ask them what it is like to need equipment and not have it because some desk jockey, numbers nanny tells them what their needs in the field are. No, I think you're the type of person who would be upset if the rifles were give free of charge to the officers. |

FWIW, if I lived in that county, I could think of MUCH worse ways to spend $1000 of my tax money. Better that it be spent on an MP5 for a SWAT guy who MAY need it, then the cash go to some crack whore to pay the lease on her Cadillac Escalade.

That M4 is a personally owned weapon. The MP5? Wow, that agency probably spends more than the $1300 it was on gas a week. Shotgun? Well, geez, there's another $350 tops.  Then again, of course, I support LEs... I don't know what Rodney King beef you have, but get over it. Or perhaps you should wear a police uniform (oh, GOD FORBID should you actually do some real work in your life) and be a walking target subject to insults and slurs/swearing and being in constant state of danger where could be killed in a car crash or a shot from a Lorcin. Until then, politely cram your "WASTE OF ZE TAXDOLLARS" bullshit up your ass. |

WackyG...
I guess the police should go back to 6 shot wheelguns as nothing ever happens that requires the use of stronger weapons? Or should we just not prepare for bad things that might not happen?
Having been involved in the Santana school shooting in Santee, CA. (Small Town) I know from experience like items were put to good use during the room-to-room search for a suspect. In all fairness you sound like a cop hating moron with no basis in fact. |

He will probably never be shot in the chest, so lests just take away his armor while we are at it. That cost over $1,000.

Saying that Paducah is one of the larger cities in WKY is not saying much. It is a nice collection of weapons. Far better the department should have invested its money in items with reach and effect than in tasers & beanbag guns. If you need to shoot the SOB then kill him dead. |
