“Malpractice reform” in NY is dead (at least on this go-around). But there is a State fund to compensate brain damaged babies.
Don’t you need a license or something for a tank? Where does Joe Arpaio even get the authority to obtain and use military weapons?
Bill,
Most people will call anything that looks military a “tank” if they don’t know anything about it.
I believe that is the case here. Q and O has a picture of the vehicle in question: http://www.qando.net/?p=10581
It is not a tank as we like to think of tanks in that it doesn’t have a barreled weapon or anything. It appears to be a armored personnel carrier of some sort.
Personally, I think the media wants to attack Arpaio and is happy to use the term “tank” when it is inaccurate.
That being said, I agree with your overall point. The militarization of the police is a scary thing.
