Your breakdown was fine...I was piling on for 240's benefit. I was never a fan of all the military hardware...especially the shit during the search for the Boston bombing douchbags.
Yeah, you actually added some credibility, since what I say is obviously because I am brainwashed and part of the problem.
I agree there are departments what went batshit crazy with the available military equipment. There needs to be some reasonableness to the procurement. I'm not a proponent of some of the stuff they say can be had. I haven't seen it actually being requested here. We have gotten a helicopter and some armored personnel carriers for SWAT and the Bomb squad and I support those
