The LARPmobile.
I'm a little tired of this type of slander. Actual LARPers are some of the most open and welcoming people I've ever met. They're passionate about their hobby and love to share it with people who are interested. Plus they can usually hook you up with some good mead.
By contrast these fascists aren't larping, they are real fascists with real military equipment. All they will you hook you up with is a car battery to your testicles.
And one of the window wipers is even 'realistically' fucked like it has seen real combat :D
I just spent too much time looking for a fucked window, because somehow i didn't read wipers.
It's an MRAP, basically what the US military made when too many people were getting blown up by IED in Iraq.
Pretty much worthless for police use, they really are just an anti-mine and anti-ied vehicle with terrible visibility and maneuverability. They for the most part stopped using them because they roll over so often and have been known to shock the shit out of people due to bad wiring.
Plus, they absolutely destroy our roads and infrastructure, since our roads weren't designed for regular use by tanks.
Why don't we start just giving cops our decommissioned ships too? I'm sure the NYPD could find a way to use a nuclear sub to harass and kill minorities.

They aren't that bad, mainly because they are lightly armored. They're basically just a lifted semi truck with an armoured V shape hull.
As far as damaging infrastructure they prob have to be real careful about driving them into the bottoms of bridges or snagging power lines.
They are just absolutely tactically worthless outside of fighting in an insurgency that's IED happy. Years ago you could buy them at auction, pretty sure Alex Jones had one for a while. On second thought there's a pretty good chance The Onion might have an MRAP.
Shitass NYPD also has surface to air missiles.
I'll chose to believe it's called the inferiority complex assault vehicle.
The ICAV. Works for me.
Wrong department.
I think that's TSA.
