their post is right in line with how lemmy thinks about these though. The whole thing is about how stupid they are in terms of costs, how the people who get them like it because they look tough, and provides statements from a police chief about how it makes them look bad. The edit discussing some of the possible usefulness of them, are things you never see these being used for. I don’t understand the reason for your comment. Did you read the post?
One of the interesting things for the possible usefulness though is you never see firehouses acquiring these. They already have tools that achieve all the use cases. That’s half of fires deal, being prepared for all sorts of emergencies - not just fires.
Yeah I started typing about the equipment emergency services have that cover everything they are likely to encounter, and they use those, instead of MRAPs, because they are better specialized for their job, and far more cost effective. I ended up not feeling like finishing it.
So, you stop being so attractive and smart all the time and just accept that cops are both dumb and useless while also necessary for a functioning society, while occasionally spending tax payer dollars on recycled cheap surplus military equipment instead of allowing that shit to fill up a landfill.
Nah, this is lemmy, dude. No one here is going to read that logical reason why this happened and change their minds.
