Looks like they are ready to violently suppress the rioting MAGAts when they riot after their criminal leader is imprisoned. What’s that? Those that work forces are the same that burn crosses? I guess they’re ready for any counter-protestors.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with an MRAP, is a good guy with an MRAP.
Now if only we could find some bad guys with an MRAP…
There a 2 right in this picture
Sitting in it while a school shooter blasts some kids.
Bulldozing the whole school to make sure they get the shooter.
Intra-uterine devices?
Yes that’s part of it. It’s also a play on IED. Improvised explosive device aka a bomb.
I think it’s a typo friend
It’s not
They will drive this beast right up your vagina.
It’s Texas, you never know when someone might be in danger of wanting to have some level of control over their own body.
That was the joke, yes
What is an IUD? Did they misspell IED?
btw that response sounded a little rude, meant in jest though!
play on words
noun
A pun, or similar humorous use of language such as a double entendre.:)
No, they said what they said. IUD, Illegal Unwanted Darkskins
/s because that’s way too fucking plausible, fuck me I think I need to wash my soul
I think they meant IUD as in intrauterine device, because this is Texas and women are supposed to give birth, not avoid pregnancy
IUD
SIS
Stay in School
Cuz it’s the best
I understand it’s a pun on Texas’ crippling fear about giving women birth control options.
Why is it doing a Carolina squat?
This is a little town on the north outskirts of the Dallas metro area with a population of about 38,000. The reasons they need it are innumerable. /s
In case the Mean Green were to turn liberal and rise up!
I WANNA PLAY WITH THE MRAP!! But I’d… Like maybe not run over brown people with it, and instead use it as a force for good…?
Edit: or just fun.
A lot of police departments are just… gifted this shit by the military industrial complex.

They don’t have a need for it, but it looks cool parked at the county fair.
The problem is, once they have it, they reach for reasons to use it.
When all you have is a hammer, etc.
DOD doesn’t want to pay upkeep and it was designed for roadside bombs in remote mountains not Iranian drones.
Might as well give it to the cops, in case one of their supporters accidentally hits it while trying to bomb a women’s shelter or something.
They’re specifically not to be used on roads because they don’t fit, rollover if sneezed at and destroy our roads but fuck it they’re police right?
I’m confused about the design. If it’s designed for mountain areas but is top heavy and rolls easy, isn’t that a major design floor for an area where the terrain is likely to be steep from left to right in parts?
Maybe my idea of terrain in mountainous areas is wrong.
You have correctly identified one of many reasons the military hated these.
Tall but narrower than other options while having survivability in case of getting IED’d. I know HMMWVs are actually big but the MRAPs didn’t all have a much larger footprint.
Fun fact though, they had to add a gunners harness because the gunners were more likely to die in a roll over. Armored plates all up over your back but you get crushed because the Specialist driving hasn’t even driven anything bigger than his Civic and doesn’t have enough hours dealing with actual Afghan roads.
It’s designed to stay on roads.
Those roads are natural choke points where bombs are often hidden on the ground, which results in a high and heavy design.MATV begs to differ. We always had the technology. We just wanted a cheap solution to stop taking so many casualties.
Correct, they move slow but they are quite explosion survivable past the original design.
What are you talking about, that would fit perfectly parked in the bike lane
I dunno, it might have to “monster truck” its way over all the other motor vehicles already parked in the bike lane.
Is it “gifted” to them, or are they paying taxpayer dollars to purchase these war machines? When they’re turning our local communities into war zones, some of us might even question whether we should reduce their funding significantly if this is what they’re squandering our money on.
Watch them cower inside of this vehicle, idling in the parking lot as a school shooter empties one magazine after another.
They pay very little for it. Essentially shipping.
Hmm, can’t decide if that’s better or worse.
They pay little to nothing to get them, then they pay everything to keep, maintain, and store it. As someone else noted, looks like it’s already leaking oil.
Wait! You’re saying that your police department doesn’t get blown up by multiple IEDs every week? How odd.
::: spoiler </s> :::
IUD jokes aside, I think the way the cops are grinning is enough to say they don’t need it and they view it as a toy.
I mean, I’d be pretty excited to get to drive one.
Oh, you know. In case these criminal groups ever cross the border and try to endanger the citizens of Texas:
Americans genuinely don’t understand the difference between police and the military rofl
Yeah, I’m sure you attended police academy, or served in the military, right? If you had, one of the first things they would tell you is to not have social media.
served in the military, right?
I did, yeah. About 75% of males around here do, nothing special about it. Also, while we do it we genuinely get better training in the use of force than most American police.
And yes, they do talk about the responsibility of what you share. When I was in the army, not so much, as social media wasn’t really a thing yet and phone cameras weren’t much of thing. My brother, though, went a few years after, they covered it in much more detail.
Edit technically I’m still in the army, as I’m in the reserves.
Lucky you. They deemed you physically unscathed enough to serve.
Like they do more than 90% of males here. ~7% go to civil service.
“Lucky you”. You Americans and your military fetishes. Exactly what’s the problem here, preventing you from discerning your police from your military or even really knowing the difference.
Oh, so you aren’t even American? You don’t live in America. So what is your problem with police in Texas? This post specifically addresses police in Texas and the new vehicles they received.
“You’re not even American, and think you have the right to laugh at the American military-industrial complex?!”
What’s wrong with an overmilitarised and undereducated police force…?
What’s wrong with people genuinely not being able to name the difference in roles between the military and the police?
We can figure this out together, I’m sure.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Also one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read coincidentally. But funny!
The article is dumb? You should visit Mexico. Tell the federales that you hate the police.
Storing it 10 hours north of the border (assuming it can reach highway speeds and only needs to stop for gas twice) might not be the strategic move you think it is
Any closer and the cartels might steal it, though.
So you’re saying the cartels are already in Texas but this exists in case they ever cross the border into Texas?
So either keep it safe and too far away to be useful or keep it where its useful but will get stolen? Might as well not have one then
They would probably fly in some military defense first. The local law enforcement and other state law enforcement would mostly likely just provide reinforcement to their effort. Here’s hoping Claudia can keep the cartels in check, right?
Yeah so this vehicle is completely useless to the police, agreed.
Since nobody has offered te correct answer, I will:
It’s because increasingly so, the enemy is becoming you.OBVIOUSLY it’s so that next time there’s a SCHOOL SHOOTING they can rock up in STYLE while they wait for the Shooter to run out of Bullets or Bodies whichever happens first!
