Aside from them being an aggressive display of power (even Russia uses them only for riots), they are very expensive! The military spends a massive amount of money for maintenance - now the police can do that, too! Very cool, except you pay for it and they'll need more money. APCs use a lot more fuel, have more expensive parts and need special training to operate = more money from the local budget (= more taxes). Next thing, they'll be buying jets and drones for $10 each and spending millions on their maintenance.
