Police Use Tank To Make an Arrest

Isn't the correct term actually "self propelling artillery"? Not that they'd use that gun anyway unless they decide to start taking down targets from miles away. Kinda nitpicking hehe

Exactly. This thing is used to clean out targets on the battlefield before the tanks go out there for tank combat. Just like in the Medieval days the archers fired first taking out any theats from afar, then the foot soldiers (swordsmen, spearmen) went in to clean up the rest. Or if the military needs some artillery on stand by this is more suited for the job because you don't have to use a team of soldiers to lug around the Howitzers on a trailer. Plus it keeps the crew operating it safe because of the armor. This thing will never be used in a city or suburban area by the police. Hell, the police probably aren't even trained to use it. It's simply an attention grabber.

In the pic I posted in by above post you see where they have it at? The fair, lol. What does that tell you, haha.

115 roosters euthanized on the spot? I realize that they can not be put with another rooster but I bet there are at least that many farms in the midwest that would love to have a rooster. THATS ANIMAL CRUELTY just as much as fighting them. BUST THE COP!!!

That is not animal cruelty. How were they killed? If it was lethal injection that is fine. They were not abused, raped, or tortured. That topic is for a different thread. Now they can be eaten, you saved a lot of starving people.

I still stick up for the sheriff driving the artillery equipment into the criminals yard.

The point is they were killed for no good reason. Yes it was painless but it was not needed. It boils down to 'We don't want to deal with them so they die"

RAPED??????

Knowing Cops..............LOL

I am laughing so hard I have to log off for a bit...............

First of all, screw that cockpuncher Steven Segal.

Secondly, what model is this police tank exactly? Is it a tank or APC?

I'm pretty sure that its an M109 Paladin.

But I could be wrong on the model.

I would have expected something like this:





Or if they're cool like me, one of these

A cammo Lambourgini? Now all I can think of is "you may be a redneck millionaire if..............."

And yeah, the pic of the armored vehicle that was posted earlier looks like an M109 to me.

" What's wrong with using a tank in an arrest warrant you ask? Well for one thing even if it's something illegal taking place such as cockfighting, although as simple of an offense as it may seem, police may have suspected Mexican Mafia to be involved. Cockfighting and the Mafia aren't exactly strangers to each other. And wherever the mafia is that's where a lot of firearms being wielded are going to be. No matter how simple this may seem at first glance. Police don't want to take any chances. That's just how it works. How would you feel? "

If that is the case , maybe the Cops should be Issued Tactical nuclear weapons just in Case the Mexican Mafia Shoots at their Sorry Ahasses.........Geez , WTF is this World coming to ? ..........

I think it was just a showboat stunt. They had Steven Segal as a ride along. They thought hey why not take the self propelled howitzer it kind of looks like a tank. WTF? Why not. Its Hollywood stuff so who cares. Then the press gets wind and make more press for the show. Same ole same ole.

are you a complete idiot?... every post you have made in this thread has nothing to do with what was actually posted. . . You keep saying that it was "justified" basically because the guy was mexican. You sir are scum of earth


if you would have read the article. They used a TANK to stop a chicken fighting ring... It is complete abuse of tax payers money, there was NO proof that the "criminal" had any firepower or that he would fight back against them.



JUST A STUPID AMERICAN BADASS SHOWING pretty typical with police and rednecks who think blowing down houses to stop chicken fights is worthy

harming small animals is already the sign of a psychopath. they treated the suspected as a possible psychopath.

reply to post by mrcheezel


Yet by that same token there was no proof that the criminal DIDN'T have any firepower or WASN'T going to fight back. Now what?

Check out recent US history from around 1966 to 1972. I have seen tanks in the streets in the USA during my lifetime. Believe it.
