http://www.theodidactus.com/consider-the-following-in-which-i-request-an-armored-personnel-carrier-from-the-pentagon-8142014/
The Pentagon has made it increasingly easy for police departments to acquire this hardware, particularly if they live in what is termed a HIDTA or High Intensity Drug Trafficked Area.
I live in one of these areas.
While I am not a police department, I embrace the philosophy that self-policing is necessary for the safety and security of a free state, and have put in a request form for an armored personnel carrier. Its only a page long! Seriously, I did it over my lunch break, and you should too.
