The fundamental danger of MRAPs and other heavy equipment is that the tail wags the dog. Violent crime is currently at an all time low. However, Law Enforcement who obtain such equipment need to justify their purchase and thus end up using it totally inappropriate situations. County Sheriffs are now armed to the teeth for combat that literally never happens within their jurisdiction. So they break out the big guns for routine police work and cause completely unnecessary damage.
