The idea that first you roll up in a tank, and then you pretend that you're going to de-escalate, is inherently ludicrous. "Barricaded person": doesn't need an MRAP, they need a therapist. "Hostage situation": generally also doesn't need an MRAP, they need a specialized therapist. "Active shooter": here's note from a company that really wants to sell you training on how to deal with an active shooter -- http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/10-lessons-learned-from-the-new-fbi-study-on-active-shooters http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/10-lessons-learned-fro... -- note that even with their spin, they can't come up with any evidence that an MRAP would be helpful. "Riots" -- There's a list on Wikipedia. What percentage were caused by the police murdering people? 12 of 29 in the last ten years. "Natural disasters": don't require tanks. Heavy trucks? Rugged 4WD? More investment in firefighting equipment? Sure. Hauling around tons of armor on a vehicle with a high center of gravity? Silly.
