This is one of the "gheyest" videos I have ever seen. In addition to the boring subject matter and the juvenile music the video is attached to...the skull imagery and "Punisher" imagery is completely inappropriate for law enforcement.
Having said that there is a place in law enforcement for armored vehicles. I think the MRAP is serious overkill and a tracked vehicle is just impractcal and sends the wrong message. I do however think a "Brinks" type armored car that offers ballistic protection is reasonable for larger departments to have access to.
