EFP's are simple and cheap compared to the hundred's of thousands of dollars the MRAP cost. I see them as the greatest waste of taxpayer money to equip our law enforcement agencies with.

And d) the Border Patrol has a dozen or so of these armored things for dealing with the Mexican smugglers, but that's the only division of the Department of Homeland Security that has any. It turned out that the rumors of the DHS buying thousands of these had no truth to it. <br /><br />It *is* true that a large number of local police departments have started buying these things. If you disagree with that, vote out the city council and mayor that voted to buy them, and vote in a city council and mayor that vow to get rid of them. We *do* still live in a democracy, after all. Every single one of the bastards got there because the majority of voters in his or her district or city voted for him or her. You want something different? Don't snark on a web site -- vote the motherfuckers out. Good luck on that, because the majority of Americans *want* to live in a police state. Sigh.<br />BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-23430566160322419982014-02-02T07:30:06.992-08:002014-02-02T07:30:06.992-08:00Yep, set that fuel on fire and they will un-ass th...Yep, set that fuel on fire and they will un-ass that thing pretty quick.
