I think I read something about some departments getting them cheap and then mothballing them once they became too expensive to maintain.They're a tracked (i.e. off road) amphibious vehicle. You've gotta change the tracks on them constantly (and that cant be cheap, and it's labour intensive), they can tend to chew up roads, and they go around 50kph top speed. They also chew through diesel at a decent rate.
Here is WAPOL TRG's Bearcat in operation in Perth.
It makes zero sense.

They're literally only designed for protection from mortar fragments and small arms for the dudes in the back (and the small arms protection is a little iffy with higher powered rifle rounds at close range).
They're old tech. Pre Vietnam war era. The cost of running a fleet of them would not be justified for what possible practical uses they might have.
Something like a Bear-cat or similar:

Makes a sh*t load more sense.
They can actually go on freeways at 120 kph+. Its what our State and Federal Police use.
Great bit of kit the M113. Spent many moons living out the back of one. Brings a tear to the eyeThe militarisation of police is directly linked to surplus military equipment ordered for the two Iraq wars. It flows down cheaply to local police departments.
Local police departments in the US even have surplus APCs.

Don't be absurd. 95% of those bullets would be shot within the first ten minutes of a zombie apocalypse in America, mostly at other people not zombified.Makes zombie movies so unrealistic. They are all running around trying to find supplies when there are 3 billion rounds of ammunition sold in the US every year.
Well why would they bother questioning random posts on football forums, what would be the point?Victorian police have just taken delivery of 300 semi-automatic rifles. They are monitoring people's social media pages and arresting people for non-compliant statements. They have the right to enter people's homes without a warrant. They have set up cameras in public parks. They are using drones to spy on people.
The MSM don't seem to be questioning any of this.
The M113.
Used to drive (and command) them in the Army. 50mm of aluminium between you and the enemy.
I have no idea why the Cops would need one. Literally zero.
“ The state of disaster declaration will empower the police minister, Lisa Neville, to appoint police as authorised officers. This means when doing spot checks on people’s homes, if the residents did not give permission for them to enter, police will be authorised to enter without a warrant.”

And what if you aren't quarantined and refuse to open the door like quite a few have and have your front door smashed in what about them?Only applies to people who have been ordered to quarantine.
s.10 LEPRA gives police power to enter without a warrant to arrest or detain someone.
If you're not complying with a quarantine order they can arrest or detain you.
Black americans biggest threat to their own lives is actually themselves. Change will hopefully occur when they take responsibility for their own actions.
And what if you aren't quarantined and refuse to open the door like quite a few have and have your front door smashed in what about them?
Or making a comment on Facebook but not quarantined what about them?
You think it's only being used for that surely not..
What assumptions do you make regarding their alleged failure as a group to do so?Black americans biggest threat to their own lives is actually themselves. Change will hopefully occur when they take responsibility for their own actions.
Why are they knocking on your door in the first place, and why would you refuse to open it?And what if you aren't quarantined and refuse to open the door like quite a few have and have your front door smashed in what about them?

This factually incorrect.Breonna Taylor?
Nah, no knock, just barge in. Mistaken identity. Person they were after didn't live there and was not known to them, and had been arrested somewhere else in the city a few hours earlier.
They didn't identify themselves. Boyfriend hears a break in and tries to defend his property. Innocent woman gets killed by indiscriminate fire.
Cops were wrong all day long in this one.
