why don't the cops on horseback have camo on, did they think it would be to garish or something?

You'd have to paint the horse to make it work.

No you need armored combat vehicles in case Steven Segal shows up and wants to throw a bunch of money at your department.

They should just go full tilt with it and make a modern day Cataphract.



Except with all Kevlar, and a 50 cal bolted to the horse somehow.

I always thought that America was crazy about their right to own a gun, but seeing that police force makes me understand why you'd want to own a personal arsenal.

I mean how the gently caress are you not going to respond with violence when soldiers show up and kick in your door?

You aren't, and thinking you can because you have a gun somewhere in your house is an absurd fantasy.

I love all those vertical grips and guns that look like they modded them in battlefield.

"Yeah I'm gonna need either a 4x or a red dot to get target acquisition on these unarmed protesters, but can I also get an ergo grip, the long barrel and a tac light? You never know man"

Overwined
Sep 22, 2008

Wine can of their wits the wise beguile,
Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile.
And American Police Forces are jammed packed with military surplus that extends out into weaponry that was never even remotely conceived to be used in a civilian setting. There are also military contractors who have already gotten filthy rich off American taxpayers and they simply cannot ween themselves off their morally-bankrupt lucre. So, they paint their poo poo blue so it looks like a cop should be holding it. Meanwhile, police budgets swell in response to the various Brown Menaces that sweaty white people have nightmares about, so there's more than enough cash to keep this poo poo rolling.

The only real problem is that the Pigs on the Ground gotta taste for themselves. They've always fancied themselves Noble Warriors out to save the Noble Race, but they're too fat to pass basic. So they strap themselves with assault rifles and grenades and they drive APCs to fight bands of kids with rusty .22s. Only the kids that are actually armed are smart enough to stay away from these pigs, turgid with their bloodlust-boners. So all that's left is some kid that once threw a gang sign in a picture and he catches some Hydrashocks in the back of the head and gets called a thug by the media.

Then another day dawns in America and we can fail to learn from our mistakes yet again.

That's true, but the people that have these guns aren't "peace officers". Why the gently caress would a cop on beat need anything more than a semi auto pistol? When's the last time a routine patrol turned into a five alarm shootout?

Uh well I've never been to St. Loious so I'll have to reply on some feeds to update you on what its like there, but there's actually lots of wild rear end shoot outs, like you said sometimes the people with that kind of gun aren't peace officers. Let me get back to you from the feeds, with if anybody in St Loius has AKs, and then I'll journalism you the answer

edit: poo poo I forgot that I'm actually just the official main St. Loius thread war couch journalist, please read that thread to really absorb the context on this one
