Thanks, but no Tanks, Keene!

I wonder how Lenco gets its sales? Larger cities likely have the budget to buy these items the local cops around here don't. Instead they get mil surplus armored vehicles from the feds for free. Paint them black and take the guns off and send them right out. For free. Our local congressman appears in all the media photo ops at the turn-overs too. I saw sheriff's SWAT team vehicle at a nearby town's Halloween party along with ambulances, firetrucks, police cars, and other stuff. Looked like a Stryker only in black and without the M2 and reactive armor.
