Everything Vermi said and..

Sonya, MRAP's are complex inanimate objects. They do not take away anybody's liberty by themselves. Its the posture they give law enforcement that fuels the argument Ive made many times here and elsewhere; that the mindset's of average PD's have become more "us versus them" and these vehicles and gear clearly give a military posture which is what they were created and intended to do.

Vermi decided to explained the reason why there is no need for them both financially and as a life saving mechanism. The only real argument for them that I can see is the same old tired saying.. "if it saves one life." But then, who do you think it will be saving? If it saved anyone? the tax paying citizen who paid for it? I think not.
