well you're acting like since there is money available it should be spent on things that will never be utilized. That's how govt works though in that every dollar is spent to justify future budget increases.
back to the MRAP, what purpose would the mine-resistance play in normal operations? Also, since response time is often critical, why choose to go with a vehicle whose higher center of gravity makes it more susceptible to roll-overs?

How do you like my MRAP. Several mid-state depts got one also. Free of charge btw. Ours is in the process of being painted black. I'm trying to talk the chief into putting shark teeth on the front. The first thing we did was drive through the projects. May I suggest if this awesome beast pulls in front of your house, just lay down and quietly surrender.

EDIT: any incident involving the twin towers or the Oklahoma fed building doesn't really count, for obvious reasons.
You realize there have been multiple LA type incidents in the US, right? You dont need it until you need it.
Brentwood- details? shoot out with bank robbers similar to LA.
Oakland- details? Really?
Boston. Maybe.
9-11. Maybe.
Next two. The government had no business there in the first place. They were and it applies.
