I can understand why America is arming and equipping their police with heavier gear. The Police are dealing with dangerous threats in dangerous situations more than ever, I mean every now and then there's some shooting going on by a mad man with a rifle and the police needs tools to deal with them, or deal with dangerous armed criminals or deal with prepared and trained rioters in an escalating riot. In the past the police indeed had only a trusty revolver, but those days are gone now. incidents of domestic terrorism, violent shootings and criminals with automatic firearms and other small arms are more common than in the past, you just can't use a revolver or a semi automatic pistol only anymore. You need a good old trusty rifle now more than ever. Armoured vehicle is a debated subject, I believe they need them to protect their lives, otherwise they'd just get simply shot in a police cruiser or get their cruisers on fire and damaged by rocks in riots.
