#1 How would LAUSD use such a vehicle?

Home Ec classes for starters: How to remove stubborn bathtub rings

Landscaping classes: Naturalistic rubblizing for the backyard

I'm sure there are other uses in the school for such vehicles.

#3 "How would LAUSD use such a vehicle?"
You have to ask a question like that with Cinco De Mayo coming up? They decorate it like a piñata and use in the parade. They can probably get $100K funding just for that.

#4 The grenade launchers are for parents that send their kids to school with brownies.

#5 Actually there are parts of Los Angeles where a vehicle like that might be appropriate.

#7 Two months ago I was very much against the militarization and federalization of any police. However since Obama has virtually invited ISIS into the United States maybe some armor may be needed by local law enforcement for immediate deployment but the Federal hand in their department is wrong and needs to go. I would suggest all of this armor and firepower needs to be given to the various States Nation Guard units and kept at their armories including the thousands of M-16 rifles that the police don't seem to be able to keep track of and keep losing. The police who want to use these weapons of war then need to enlist in the National Guard (reserves)and if an insurgency becomes reality they can use these vehicles and other weapons under their governor's control not the feds.

#8 Why does a school district have its own police department? Wouldn't response times be quicker if that responsibility were handed over to the community police?

#9 Yes TW but from what I hear, they do not always get the right culprit.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in.
They place animal informants throughout the forest.
They question all plant and mineral witnesses.
After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in.
After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies.
The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in.
They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear.
The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
