"Donate some canned cream corn or we will f*%k you up!"

[Atman]

I took this picture at our local grocery store yesterday, where they were holding one of those "Stuff A Cruiser" food drives. They just made the cruiser a lot bigger. Stuff it. Now we're ready if those vagrants hold an uprising for lack of creamed corn!

2. Shame on them. They should have to have had the public's permission to acquire that vulgar thing.

I imagine it didn't cost the community and was given them by the Feds.

A community of 18,000 people need that?

Are the Russians coming?

5. The Feds give it to them

but it has to be taken to a contractor to be retrofitted for civilian use. We had one of them given to a nearby town that has an effective violent crime rate or pretty much zero. The cops said, hey it's free and it might save a life blah blah blah, then we find out they had to ship it to a company that charged the city $50,000 to make it street legal, remove gun ports and everything else.

6. Nothing says 'Peace' like the War Wagon.

7. Bring in the car, bring in the car!

"Die Hard" predicted all this BS decades ago.

That truck makes weak men with tiny dicks feel very superior, and huge. It's sick.

Though I do feel sorry for the mechanic who has to change those wheels.

8. Something like this happened here this year.

We have a candlelight walk in town. This has been going on for years. This year the Sheriff decides to raise money for two extra police dogs during the event. They parked the cruiser on the sidewalk downtown with the lights on. What says Happy Holidays more than a cruiser with it's emergency lights on. (I thought the bank had been robbed )They were looking for $5000 in donations from the people. Here is the kicker. On the corner set a huge Sheriff box van filled with god knows what. An emergency responder headquarters. I am sure that they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this. The whole place looked like a military base in the heart of the village for the holiday festival. They should have saved a little of that Homeland money to buy the dogs! People were contributing to the dog fund like it was pennies for puppies totally not thinking about how those dogs may be used against them in the future.

Sorry about the Swat showing up. They are just trying to get us used to this,something like the friendly firetruck!

9. Finally a police force appropriately using their SWAT van. nt

10. I don't live in this town...my town doesn't even a police department.

But we have to drive here because my town also doesn't have any grocery stores. Or crime. Seven, yes SEVEN, crimes reported last year, and four of those were for petty trespassing or property crimes. So nearby Willimantic gets a military SWAT vehicle, I assume to sweep up the stoners wandering into Taco Bell and Dollar Store. Yeah...this thing really made me want to donate canned goods.
