For example?It is a simple question.
Why do you object to police being protected in the line of fire?
You are quite right. And looking more closely, the federal government in surreptitious cooperation with a rising Law-Enforcement Industrial Complex is subsidizing militarization by funding small local police agencies SWAT units, largely under the guise of anti-drug activity.The dhs is sending these vehicles to towns with practically no crime and populations under 25,000. Places that have less than 2 murders a year on average. What do they need tanks and mraps for?!
Okay, I made an unfair assumption! I personally think the avg Joe should be able to purchase such weapons, but also be subject to EXTREME scrutiny.
I agree! It isn't just Obama...it is a legislative and executive branch pattern that can be construed as abridging our rights. I can live with that. My argument is that blaming Obama for everything is nonsense...especially sense Bush started this trend.
I've blamed both sides all along and it's getting worse with every new administration.
Obama has most definitely raised the bar at this point,but I see it as the furthering of the total agenda and expect it to continue no matter who's in office.
This shouldnt even be a partisan issue.
Please note, I agree. I have an issue with those who have turned it into a partisan issue. Their arguments are disingenuous. They don't care about the issue, they are simply protesting a black President by parroting their low information talking points. A typical teaper...they are basing their opinions on falsehoods and lies...and creating more falsehoods and lies in the process.
That's a technical point. The relevant fact is the Defense Department is giving these MRAPs to local police agencies, gratis.Once is enough if it saves an officers life

DHS isn't "sending" these vehicles anywhere.
Local police departments are buying them, surplus, from the military. DHS has nothing to do with it.

I'm not so sure about the black president part.
Obama has given a lot of Americans plenty of reason to dislike him no matter what color he is.
I would say it is much more than a small percentage...why do you think the Tea Party has gained so much popularity. And, you can tell by the Teapers on this forum that most of them don't know the first thing about politics.Are there some out there who hate him purely because he's black? You bet,but it's a very small percentage and most of them dont know the first thing about politics or how our country operates.
He did get elected with only 13% of the population being black.

No drugs or drug-dealers were found by those raiders. All they managed to do was maim an infant. And this was by no means the only botched SWAT raid. They happen on an almost daily basis.
I object to drug dealers putting their babies in harms way.

Another Teaper lie. I have never been on welfare. What about you?
See here you go again lies on top of lies. I've never been a member of the tea party, never voted for a member of the tea party, and have never been on welfare. Yet here you are generalizing anyone that is in disagreement with militarization of our domestic agencies and local police forces as a Teaper.
Total BS rhetoric on your part, to encourage rage and Troll the board.
yet you chose to say I was on welfare? If I would lie about someone like that, I would see pink. But Teaper nation is allowed to spew whatever nonsense you want.
Why is that? You made up a lie and call me a hypocrite?See here you go again lies on top of lies.

Hypocrite.
If your concern for officer safety extends to the level of endlessly expanding militarization I suggest a better approach to officer safety is to get a different kind of job. Because between SWAT rigs and MRAPs we don't need police anymore. Just put the Army in the streets.Once is enough if it saves an officers life
Usually Andy and Barney Fife are enough to keep the peace. But sometimes badasses show up in the wrong place. In that case, it is good to have access to trained officers with the right equipment.
MRAPS don't kill, but they protect the officers who have to go after the badasses

Yeah, but that is because the GOP chose idiots as their nominee. McCain was okay, but he ruined it with Palin. Romney...elitist, mormon and magic underwear.

Make up your mind, it's ok to make up lies about others or it's not ok.
What lies have I made up about anyone? Please be specific.

Not a member of the TeaParty but I do identify with what they espouse.
And I surely don't see a racist aspect in the TeaParty.
I see them as small gov,less gov intrusion along with lower taxes.
You dont think the city police are part of and directed by DHS in certain situations?
More bullshit lies from the POS welfare addict.See, we agree again.

And that is where we disagree. The Tea Party is an affront to conservatism because of their hate politics and racist attitudes. Less government and lower taxes is admirable, but it is rhetoric and they have done nothing to accomplish this goal but obstruct and manufacture controversy for political gain.
You surprise me. I'd say it's more like ten minutes because an opportunity like that would be valuable publicity and public relations for an armored car service.15 minutes would be pushing it, if the armored car company would even allow it! If the police force had the equipment...time wouldn't be an issue.

Just about each and every sentence with your word teaper.
