[QUOTE="creepycrawly, post: 546493, member: 9808"] I have mixed feelings about this honestly. On the one hand, what in the heck does the county need with a couple of armored personnel carriers? I mean, Amerson talks about losing the "public outreach tools"...ok, well, can you still do your job? Yes? Ok carry on. You signed the contract saying Uncle Sam could do what he just did so why are you upset? On the other hand, what made Obama feel like Calhoun County Alabama was a good place to start this? Makes one wonder. As far as the HMMWV's, they are soft backs (or at least the ones I've seen them with are, as best I recall) and he is absolutely correct that they are useful as patrol vehicles during the snow and ice storms. Anniston has a few as well. I wonder if their contract is similar? I see no issue with local government possessing them. They are not equipped with armor or weapons. They are simply heavy duty transport vehicles that make it so the police can do their jobs even in adverse weather conditions. Lord knows the Chargers and the aging crown Vic's are not what I want to be in this winter when El Niño dumps a bunch of snow and ice on us. [/QUOTE]
