That's true. Now go on the "open bedrijvendag" to a police station and get a tour of their armory. They'll gladly provide it and after that tour I guarantee you there will be zero doubt left in your mind about their attitude towards weapons.

Plus it'll be fun. They may even let you fire a few of the weapons.

Thinking about what that means for their attitude in the street ... not so much fun.

How many MRAPs do they have?

They have fully automatic weapons. Enough to furnish every agent with one. Those squads are equipped with weapons that have one use only : to rapidly kill large numbers of people.

Why ? Because the agents think they're cool.

Ok, apparently MRAPs are armored vehicles. Yes they do have armored vehicles. That specific one ? Probably not, but the same general idea ? Yes. They often use them for riots and protests and such.

There was something on the news about buying new ones that are more bomb resistant.
