Cops Unleash Armored 'Beast' For Patrols

Maneuver prompted by heightened violent crime

By Michael Thompson

WND

 

Police in one Atlanta community are taking extraordinary measures to deal with heightened rates of violent crime – the unleashing of armored vehicles capable of withstanding bullets fired from AK-47s. 

Originally reported by WSB Atlanta, police are using an armored vehicle normally used by SWAT teams to battle a series of burglaries and home invasions in a south Fulton County neighborhood.

Fulton County police Capt. Wade Yates said the vehicle could help in a foot chase.

Last week, a woman was shot multiple times during a break-in in the area. Police say the burglars fled in a stolen car and were able to escape when they jumped out and ran into some woods.

But the new unit is equipped with thermal imaging for such a time as that, officials said.

Police also said the armored car is meant to reassure residents. Officers are also putting in longer hours and more patrol shifts to increase police presence in the area, the report said.

    • freddy-b

      WTF is this going to do to stop burglaries and home invasions? Seriously!!!!! everyone knows every burglar and home invader is packing AK-47′s…. get real. This toy has other intentions.

    • freddy-b

      its a phy-op prop.

      Yeah the SWAT team…. the team capable of PEACE making operation…. when dealing with satanic kids…..

      They must have got their name from the Fly Swatter…..

      But why do you see houseflies….. when we say, out in the open….. LORD….. Jehova….. or just Satan……

      And what must be done with them ?…..

      I have always assumed that the presence of the Lord & Jehova makes the enemy visible to us humans….. and the Lord Jehova wanted those flies to be swatted….. and terminated…..

      This would work well on U.S. border patrols…And that is where it should be!!!!

      • aptitude

        Are you trying to leave this paranoid country ??

      • hangman

        And in the ghettos in Chicago, where we need to thin the herd.

      I like it I just hope they made the thermal camera bulletproof and an armed assailant couldnt take a high powered deer rifle and shoot it off the top.Especially if the guy has tuned his rifle and has been hunting since childhood and knows how to shoot. The only problem i see with this is how does this work? Do they flip a coin to see who has to get out first? I can see it now, No! you won the toss , you go first, no were not doing double or nothing, you go first !! Send this thing to the border and put it to use.

    • Oldpuppymax

      So the UNARMED victim was shot several times. Good thing she didn’t have a gun. It might have been SERIOUS!

    • DeDukshen

      Rising crime???!
      Someone better check their stats a little better before using your tax dollars to fund such nonsense.

      Unless they plan on driving it into JP Morgan to arrest some real criminals, what a waste of hard earned tax dollars.

    • kacklebarney

      Great idea. The “good guys” need to be properly equipped to deal with the “bad guys.”

    • hangman

      Obama and Holder are already planning to supply the bad guys with light tanks.

      Them there are two sorry ‘good ole boys,’

    • Anonymous

      this is going to be used against american citizens who dont comply with the obama regime that is to take place in the next 4 yrs :evil:

    • Room With a View

      Either your government and law enforcement agencies are extremely paranoid or you have a lot of bad guys (and gals) hanging out in your country. I thought the police force was about protecting and serving, not urban warfare. Get out of the cities while you still can.

    • Digital Court Reporter in Naples

      Not to be too political, but I wonder how much that thing costs…

    • Joerg Klaemt

      Purchase of all that Armament could feed many Families and retirees.
