Much as I dislike the new militarization of the police, with their black SS uniforms and automatic rifles and flash-bang grenades, especially when their SWAT teams charge through some ordinary person’s front door without so much as a by-your-leave, I have to applaud this idea.
It’s got the stupid armored personnel carriers beat. It might even be useful for stealthy following of fleeing suspects in their cars, cutting down on the number of bystanders killed in high-speed chases by the Houston badge gang without flashing lights or sirens.
There is the reasonable worry, however, that the gang will escalate and arm these things.
