The same reason you need a fire truck.

It's so they can come after YOUR well... After all they have given themselves the power to do that too!! Just read THE EXECUTIVE SESSION/ORDER that was put out...

The ICE special response team... (you can see another photo of this vehicle at this link)... read the story.

Special response teams prep for high risk situations at Ft. Benning

They serve warrants under hazardous conditions. They secure the airspace over the Super Bowl in Blackhawk helicopters. They go undercover to dismantle drug trafficking organizations. They even assist after a horrible tragedy like Hurricane Katrina. Their overriding goal is to protect public safety. The work of special response team (SRT) members is often grueling and so is the training they undergo at Georgia's Ft. Benning.

SRT training lasts three weeks and includes several components. Students must complete a 1.5 mile run in less than 12 minutes, drag a dummy for 25 yards, complete 30 pushups and transition over a six-foot wall in full tactical gear.

"We average a failure rate of five to six students out of 24 on the first day," said Steve Podaras, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) National Tactical Coordinator. "Some people are meant for this, and some people are not. That's what this school does; it weeds people out."

Does this sound familiar...

The Coral Springs Fire Department established the SRT medic program in conjunction with the Police Department’s Special Response Team (SRT) in 1999. The team was formed to provide close medical support to SRT Officers during training, search and/or arrest warrants, and any operation outside the scope of normal police operations. The members of the team are chosen based on a selection process involving a physical ability tryout, oral interview, and experience. The team members are required to attend Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) while maintaining a demanding training schedule in order to be active on the team.

Gee... that's a really scary vehicle to be in procession of a fire department. Grady... you're being paranoid.

Read the side of the vehicle, to rescue people.

...and it creates jobs...someone had to add all that armor to the sides.

I hear that aluminum foil producers are running at max now, so yes jobs.

Why, it's obvious. It's to round up all of the neo-nazis and right-wingers and herd them into the FEMA camps that have been created...(And the black helicopters are there to make sure no one escapes.) :VeryScared:
