I was going to say, my parents had tanks roll by when they were working for Detroit Parks & Rec back in the day.

My mom saw the tanks on Mack Ave on the lower east side and freaked, too.

My apologies, I looked at the cop in the middle of the frame and saw the tear gas shells on the gun stock and didn’t thoroughly check out the other ‘officer’. These guys were just waiting to pull out their toys. There is zero justification for carrying a silenced weapon in a crowd control situation. American police are so screwed up!

I see APCs (armored personnel carriers) in those photos, not tanks, which aren’t really suited for urban conflict. APCs dominate.

Does it look like a tank? Does it smell like a tank? Does it sound like a tank? Does it suppress democracy like a tank? Then it’s a tank.
See also: teargas/pepper gas; batons/clubs; “rubber bullets”/bullets; strangulation/hypoxia, etc.
