Rand Paul delivers a much stronger statement than I've seen from any Dem.

What also worries me is the military-style outfit of the police in small towns like this one in MO:



Not even the riot police in Vienna (a city of 1.8 million) is outfitted like this (they have a few water cannon throwers and normal guns and pepper spray).

It's like they are trying to fight ISIS within a MO small town ... Tongue

Tender, that's a Lenco Bearcat, which Ferguson's PD doesn't have. That's St. Louis County PD, which isn't really a small town. As for why they have it, they won a grant from DHS that gave it to them for free to - fight terrorism, or something.
