Re: More Military Equipment for Cops

It is also better to use armored vehicles vs. horses in case of rioters and looters vs. police forces.
Too many horses were hurt in the past!

:iagree: Agreed with both parts of your statement.

I make an exception in dealing with terrorists nad organized protester groups like AntiFa rioting, looting, setting houses on fire, ...
In those cases outgunned and outmanned police forces should be allowed to take effective measures to protect law abiding citizens.

As an example I name Europe using tanks with water cannons and gas mixed in to control situations like mentioned above.
