FYI-very disconcerting: fullly auto M4, flashbags and the usual assortment of goodies plus armor emblazoned with POLICE all over it.
a) I have known a few of these guys from county and state. The Staters I knew kept their vehicles and gear locked in a garage, when not on duty and vehicles locked on duty. *** happened?
I know higher ups encourage LEOS to keep cars visible for obvious reasons, but is it better to see your neighbor's patrol car in the driveway or to not see it and keep all the gear out of the hands of criminals.
b) auto rifles are all over gangland so another m-4 or 2 is prolly no difference, but I don't think SWAT vests are. Special ammunitions?
This is not the first time WSP has been hit. Why not change policies/enhance security measures to prevent this type of theft.
c) How can public trust police (in limited numbers, with this stuff on the streets). Now, if you are a BG, and an APC/response unit rolls up, you know its real. But what if you have just a couple "cops" at your door demanding entry?
Anybody currently working WSP, or even TCS/PCS/KCS (or any SWAT ?SERT/SRT officers, care to comment?
How can we know the blue light and uniform is for real? I know, most are, but now and then stuff goes down that is not umm, good for department image.
