Well they have a point, they've already gone and wasted the money on these damn unnecessary vehicles. So the police may as well use them, they need running like any vehicle. Ideally they would never have been bought in the first place. However, the article says "but it is unclear whether the firearms have been removed." Well if they removed them and were using the vehicle, and were suddenly called out to an armed incident, they would have to drive back and get the weapons which is obviously not particularly useful. So the weapons must surely be in the vehicle. Also I believe not just any "bobby on the beat" is trained in the use of firearms. So not only do we have these armed vehicles patrolling the streets, we have rambo type henchman doing community policing. How is that easing peoples minds? More like they want the public scared of them. Smells more like a power trip to me.
