CoeurGenX: In Defense Of BearCat

CoeurGenX (RE: BearCat arrives at KCSO HQ): Reading all the comments its easy to see why everyone loves living in peaceful Mayberry, however, 10 minutes out of town in the massive rural areas surrounding Mayberry, something like this could provide cover (safety) and possibly strike fear into a criminal hiding in a remote cabin or house. In our own jobs safety is preached by fire alarms, emergency exits and evacuations. Why can't our first responders have the same ability to execute their job safely?!?

Question: CoeurGenX make a good point. The BearCat offers added protection for officers trying to root out Randy Weaver wannabes in the back-country. If it saves life or serious injury to one officer, it would be worth it, right?
