Nice Toy
Another government give-away?
What's the gas mileage on something like that? And does it ever park on Rahm's block?

Quite different than the old War Wagon of the 70's and 80's. That thing looks like you could drive it through a brick building.
That's the safe passage school bus prototype. And as far as safe passage overkill goes, definately bet the over.

This is part of militarizing the police all over the country. Police state and martial law will be here sooner than you think.
We've had this thing for at least 2 years now.
Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, Ok alot I came on the job in 1969. But when I see something like that with "POLICE" on the side all I can think is third world. Please do not mis understand me Politically I'm to the right of Attila the Hun. But that vehicle scares the shit out of me. Just who do they want you guys to use it on, certainly not some rock seller in 007 or 011. Makes you go Hmmmm.
Well ya do know the crimeinboystown.blogspot.com blog did report that an armed robbery occurred a half-a-block from Rahm's house the other day?
Crime is down.
I see the new school buses are here.
Wasn't there another "specialty vehicle" left to rot on deflated tires out a O'Hare a few years ago?
safe passage vehicle?
Actually a bit frightening. Since the government isn't supposed to use the military to police citizens they're militarizing our police departments instead. I am certainly hoping that our police officers will band together and refuse to obey unconstitutional orders to remove our guns, participate in martial law (Boston), etc. as we've seen in areas of the country. As a respectful citizen who greatly appreciates the job you do I hope you're discussing this and planning what to do when the time comes. Even "free speech" zones are unconstitutional. Free speech has no zones. Be safe...
Put a mk-19 on the turret and place it at a safe passage route. Problem solved.
Ask Ray Hamilton he bought it with Seized Drug money and No records exist Hello FEDS Jail time
It looks like the officers can be trapped inside the rear box with a 2x4 across the back door underneath the vertical hand rails.
If it's a war wagon we need to war game this one.
Is this the vehicle the ALPHA Girls were posing infront of with their desert camo and shiny assault rifles....
Will never be used!
How many working PDT's/mounts could this have bought?
That's the new prototype safe passage vehicle.
If testing goes well we will order 5000 more,
for the children you know.
Come on there SCC, that is the Safe Passage Command Vehicle. I envision a fleet of those to take the little kiddies to school. Lord knows that baby momma and baby daddy can't be bothered to take their chilluns' to school.
Where's the license plate?
It was free from a federal program for SWAT. Totally useless for Urban Enviornment. Ray Hamilton's bright idea.
The US military uses MRAP vehicles against the Taliban in Afghanistan..
We use MRAP vehicles against the GD's and Vice Lords in Chicago.

WOW SCARY
may be all the officers will have bean bag guns and want to talk terrorist down.
Don't forget the tank will be off Saturday & Sunday!
What a huge waste of taxpayer dollars, while officers get to drive shitboxes held together with chewing gum and duck tape.

I'm glad some people are waking up! Good for you for paying attention to what is going on. Freedom is not free and never will be. Freedom requires constant vigilance. We must constantly keep watch over our own decision makers.
If they are militarizing our police department, we'd be comparable to either McKale's Navy or F-Troop
Can I trade my Segway for one of those?

Alex Jones wannabes can eat my ass!
If you think the police are going to turn on their neighbors and start interment camps, you need more lithium!
Would have loved to have something like this back in the day. I don't what all the bitching is about. But, some people see black helicopters and conspiracies behind every rock. These are probably military surplus and given to police departments for free. It could save officer's lives in HBT
It will never be used, since where it is needed the citizens will complain its targeting a minority. I don't think anyone objects to one or two of these things especially if it protects POs in a crisis. Many more of them is not only a waste of money but also it make you think of where we are going with this.
Nice ride there- too bad it wont be doing anything but sit in a lot somewhere rusting in peace. How many working fully functional squad cars could have been bought with the money spent on this toy? They don't have money to fix and repair major building problems in most of our police facilities but they have money for this shit- unreal. They should be doing tstops in the hood with that tank at the very least- get some use out of it!
This is part of Obamas universal police force.
Bad things are on the horizon folks.
Welcome to Chi-RaQ
That's his kid's schoolbus.
all is missing is...a set of twin 50's on the top.
When we have foreign fighters training in camps in Afghanistan and coming here to use AKs and RPGs on our streets, or pressure cooker bombs we need all the rolling armor we can get.
Stay Safe. This ain't your daddy's police department anymore.
They are going use that in Boystown because Commander V. and Tunney have promised more police with all muggings. They will park that in front of Roscoes. Crime is down. It's all perception.

No, this is part of a program where the federal government gives equipment to local law enforcement when they are no longer useful for the military. This model vehicle became outdated and was no longer going to be used because they made a better design to protect our troops from IEDs. Rather than let these useful pieces of equipment rot or sell/give them to some rebel group they give them to local law enforcement.
It's a SWAT vehicle that they've had for a couple of years now. They use it all the time.

Seriously, the martial law imposed in Boston? If the government DIDN'T tell people to stay in their homes and those 2 assholes hurt more people w/ a backpack full of explosives then what? They told the citizens to stat inside w/ the best intentions of keeping the citizens safe in mind. It wasn't to oppress anyone. Do you remember the shootout that happened late at night in the neighborhood where Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed? What if that happened in a more congested part of the city during the day and innocent bystanders had been hurt or killed? Then people would have blamed the police for not doing enough. Only 1 or 2 nut jobs complained about locking the city down because the people of Boston knew the police were doing the best they could with a completely fucked up situation.
We are not coming to take away lawful citizens guns. MOST police officers believe the gun restrictions placed on law abiding citizens are bullshit. McCarthy and the other various heads of departments give the anti-gun bullshit cuz they are political puppets. If you look closely you can sometimes see Rahm's arm elbow deep in McCarthy's ass and Rahm's lips move slightly when McCarthy is talking.
No outside number or beat tag, good thing we no longer have inspectors!
Chicago could have a dozen of these MRAP's if they wanted them, it all comes down to the city putting in a request for them from the Department of Homeland Security.
I was in Las Vegas for another security convention and this issue came up in conversation, these specialized armored cars just don't show up on your doorstep, you have to ask for it.
I'd bet McStreetLights could put in a request from DHS for the salaries to hire an additional 1,000 police officers for Chicago, and we'd would get the money to do so.
Seems someone downtown wants Chicago to be the next East St. Louis or Detroit.

Nice try, moron. Police departments across the country can get surplus military gear like this for a dollar. But an idiot such as yourself wouldn't know about that, would he? You're too busy hating a person who is no longer with the department. You must be a pure joy to be around.
That makes at least two.
These things are being given away by the feds. They are the older models. These have been replaced by newer, better models for the front line troops in the Afgan areas.
Rather than eave them sit in a yard and rot, they gave them to some departments.
I am not sure what model this one is, but some have floor opening to you can either get out, or rescue someone while under fire. I wish we had these things years ago on the west side!
This is Rahm's idea of dual use. Streets and San is probably going to put a snowplow on it so that when its on patrol, they can plow the sidestreets or rescue stranded south side residents in buses on LSD.

I guess you never worked a search warrant when it was on scene. Now go get your shine box, kid.
Bet neighbors where open air drug corners operate everyday would be thrilled to see that vehicle gun down the street dealers and buyers once a week . End of drug sales in Chicago
Relax Francis. Our court system is still open to liberal America.

The only thing this vehicle will ever be used for is PHOTO OPS.
That's one of the MRAP's we've used in Afghanistan. From what I remember we called this particular model the cougar. Had a few until the Marines grabbed em. More spacious than most MRAP's.
What the fuck is that?!
For all you haters of the ceo of Alpha Girls, she got the cpd 8 of these vehicles without any cost.
Maybe the hair gells with 4 yoj can use them on their 2 bag s/w' using a aquad of 15 hiting a place and then bragging about how great they are.
Copper' are getting hurt on street and the 400 plus useless unit of narcotics do shit and think they are just too cool.
Shame on Gerry for letting this unit exist with b.s activity. Send back 90 percent to the districts. Hey Gerry, Rahm make you keep the boy wonder O'Grady still there, clean house already.
I'd rather have an EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle. ( You younger types won't get the joke )
New vri vehicles--- make sure you part them along the fence. We don't want to be spared!

This has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, however it has more to to with rightful concerns and red flags. Then again, conservative organizations weren't targeted by the government, that was all a conspiracy theory.

The operators on that vehicle will be attired in special black leather chaps and vests. No jelly bellies, only in shape dudes need apply. With nice pecs and abs and that shit.

It is exempted from a beat tag. You just got an answer wrong on the sgt's test.
If that thing is never used, all I can think of is what a gargantuan (so rarely get to use that in a sentence) waste of taxpayer dollars. How many new cops could that have funded?
If that thing is used by a metropolitan PD against US citizens, then I really fear for what this country will have become.
The only thing that I can see that thing necessary for is if (when?) Rahm and his Wall Street buddies invite the Chinese paratroopers in.
Spare No Expense - Why Chicago area inflation is only 1.7%
Hahahahaha..what are you smoking Bath Saltz?
Illinois state income tax up 66%
Chicago real estate taxes up 10.3%
Gasoline $5.00/gal highest in the nation.
Wonder where your money has been going. Why you can't seem to get ahead?
That's okay cuz parking downtown has gone up what...20~40%?
So ride public transportation then.
The CTA fares are only up 16~74% depending on what fare card you buy.
Cigarette taxes - add another buck a pack..what is that, 10% right?
Oh and isn't there a tax on lap dances now too? Calling it an entertainment tax or something?
Water bills up 16 eff-in percent!!
Efffff Uuuuuu Chicago.
Tell us about your glorious living wage job creation.
Why Illinois created over 60,000 jobs over the last twelve months.
BUT, don't look over here at the food stamp caseloads that have increased by over three times that in the last 12 months, growing at a 10.3% per annual pace.
That's right. For every new job Illinois created three people were put on food stamps. Now tell me what kind of jobs are we're talking about here?
YEAH...LMAO...Chicago inflation is only 1.7% hahaha. Tell it to the sweeny.
Tell ya what people, Google the EMRATIO from the St Louis Fed. It will show you the ratio of people employed to those that are not. We peaked at around 64% of people employed around 2000 and it's been falling ever since. We are at around 58% and soon will reach an EMRATIO that existed back in the 1950's. Currently we're around the 1978 level I believe.
That may not sound so bad to the mathematically deprived. We survive back in 1950's. Right?
HOWEVER! 50% of the population being employed in 1950 compared with 2013 is way-way different. Population growth!
Safe passageways my ass!
You don't start creating a safe path to living wage jobs this place is gonna melt down. Personally I think it's too late already. All we're waiting for is to see how Detroit gets bailed out or breaks all the social contracts and ol' Al-lee Blah-Blah and his 50 thieves will follow .
Sent it on patrol in Englewood
There is one parked outside Beatrice's all the time.
If you look real close in the front window, you can see the repair ticket hanging off the in-car camera.

Question for you guys: What's the CPD bus used for that I saw on Halsted last night? Is it for arrests, or transporting officers? Didn't see anything out of the ordinary on a drive south through Boystown last night, but I've never seen that bus around town before.
what are you going to write on the hood of it? 79th Street Express?
You have to name it like you would a B-17 if you're going to fly it into combat.
Needs a ma deuce

smoke and mirrors, the perception there is more police. boystown has been bombarded with robberies and your alderman lied to you. officers are in a backlog every weekend and denied lunches. but that's what the taxpayers get who voted democrat and for this mayor. sleep in it assholes.

8/25/2013 05:13:00 PM
SShhhhhh!! Calm down. The Stasi didn't do anything in Germany. The Stasi was the secret police force of communist East Germany. The only dictatorial thing I've seen done lately was by the Republican governor of Michigan. The Republican legislature rammed a bill through that he signed thereby giving him power to take over a local government and negating the electorate of that village,town or city. See Detroit for verification. Start worrying about that. Republicans are actively taking away Americans constitutional rights,but you're blind to that as long as you have your guns.

Thats a vehicle SWAT has had for a couple years now. Gets used on high risk search warrants and HBT jobs. Heard it cost a buck from LESSO. Not a bad deal, could really come in handy one day, especially if there's something like Mumbai in our city.

I think your tin foil hat is on too tight.
The Stasi, was the secret police in E. Germany (Soviet controlled), and their true power came in the form of control and surveillance. The constant monitoring of the public. One does not need to believe in conspiracy theories to see some of the parallels. NSA and IRS scandals. Pure coincidence? I think not! Control by monitoring and intimidation (police state = Stasi), government controlled food distribution; doubled since BHO took office. Snowmen was a whistle blower and now the mainstream media turned on him the alternative media continues to ask more questions.
OathKeeper.org
So is there a training video on how to change a tire, like there is on the Tahoe? How many lug nuts?
"I guess you never worked a search warrant when it was on scene. Now go get your shine box, kid.
Yea, seen your 2 rock search warrants....OCD is a joke...although if I had the clout I would be there too, I could piss away years and not do anything...
This vehicle is called an MRAP. it was given to the dept. from the dept of defense. it had very little use and they weregiving away about5 of these. It was not bought with dope money or any city funds. it comes in very handy and now has a Patriot 3 ladder system that goes up about 35 feetor tactical assaults and rescue operations.
Look tough do nothing.there will always be someone with his or hers sphincter opening and closing at a high rate of speed who can't wait to get behind the wheel of this "cool" vehicle and have their picture taken holding an AR.Watch......
