[QUOTE="creepycrawly, post: 546818, member: 9808"] Well, some people believe we are headed toward a police state. In that particular case, the less armed the local police are, the better off the Patriots will be. With that being said, I feel that we have much more to fear from Big Brother than we do from the Calhoun County sheriff's department. I don't feel any more or less safe with them having taken the APC's away. I do not fully endorse our local police department being heavily militarized. I don't think that is a role that local law enforcement should fill. With that being said, I am absolutely a supporter of law enforcement. They are overworked and underpaid. I've seen it first hand. I have the utmost respect for those guys. I also don't agree with some of the policies in place. I am glad that Calhoun County has a plethora of M-16's. Maybe they should share some of them with Anniston. Those guys have to buy their own if they want to carry them which is garbage. It's also tough to do with what they get paid. Despite my feelings, it's important to note that nothing was passed saying they couldn't utilize that type of vehicle. The federal government simply decided to exercise a part of the contract that the local government agreed to when they took possession of that equipment. They are free to buy APC's outright if they feel they need them. I would definitely be interested to know why Obama started with Calhoun county, Alabama for this demil campaign. If anyone sees anything about that, let's hear it. [/QUOTE]
