Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said losing an M113 — an armored personnel carrier — will result in some of his officers going on “suicide missions,” the Orlando Sentinel reports.
“People will die because of this decision,” Johnson told the paper.
Volusia County still has another tank, an MRAP — Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. But the difference is the M113 has tracks instead of wheels that allow it to travel in terrains wheels won’t go.
“The idea that our president will take this stuff away from us, the M113 (armored personnel carrier), puts not only our deputies in harm’s way but the citizens in harm’s way,” Johnson fumed to the News-Journal. “It’s obvious from some of the decisions he’s made that he really doesn’t care a whole lot about law enforcement officers.”…The president must fire those whose idea this was in the first place. Bonkers in a liberal democracy.
