Rob,
LAPD has two V150 Commando's and some Peacekeepers. Several other departments
around the country also have surplus Peacekeepers. A PD in the Bay Area
(near San Francisco) has a Saracen. Two southern california departments (1
PD, 1 sheriff) have Humber Pigs. The APC's being sent to Davis Mtn, Texas
look like M113's or M114's from the national guard. They showed them on CNN.
Also sent a large contingent of Hummers, fuel trucks, and ?. I wonder how
they got around the posse commitatus staute without having a drug connection
to the case. Must be part of the new anti-terrorist act.
