I don't know. I went to a county fair recently where the local city police were proudly displaying their DHS funded heavily armored, turreted and gun ported urban assault vehicle. I was frankly utterly appalled that a bunch of local yokels ordered around by some set of corrupt local politicians would be allowed to run around with military grade hardware when there's a national guard armory not far away that should be much more qualified and better trusted with that same piece of equipment.
So with rampant stupidity and reports of massive swat team abuse cropping up in the US what tools are available to the citizens to counter this? Seems the anarchist cookbook is probably on that list.
A tool is a tool, people really need to be encouraged to use them responsibly and punished if used irresponsibly.
- watty 13y agoWhy would one use The Anarchist Cookbook to defend themselves against heavily armed cops? I think a gun would be more effective than a tennis ball filled with match heads.
- DrStalker 13y agoI think everyone needs to take a step back here and start by deciding if violent resistance is the correct way to protest the increasing weaponization of the police before we start trying to solve the problem of which tools to be violent with.

When municipalities find out how much it costs to maintain these "freebies" they'll put them out for bid. You can buy one and park it on your deer-hunting lease.
