Did ya get a good deal on it? Sounds like vintage CAF Leopards. Didn't the CAF buy or lease
some much more modern Leopard 2s from Germany for their mission in the "Stan ?

From Northern Manitoba last summer, these guys were among the crew looking for the two murdering little creeps who'd gone on that cross-country spree. I like that the RCMP is gradually 'getting it' that hearing protection while having ears open for potentially important input is actually useful. Might be nice for citizens too, especially while hunting. Even a fairly large bear can be quite sneaky, never mind cougars, and with plugs in the ears that can present considerable danger. Then there's potential damage to a dog's hearing, fellow hunters' hearing...
These Tacticool Operators from the ERT are a effin' joke. How did two young pschos get from BC to MB undetected?
When they figured out the pair was in Northern, MB_Gillam area if I remember they still couldn't locate the two sobs
despite thermal imaging aircraft. Couldn't find a hooker in a whorehouse.
Had to stand down because the cowards had offed themselves days before their bodies were found.
As usual RCMP HQ spin doctors went to work and to this day very little details they want to share
with the public. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, the NS massacre. Gotta cover our asses, nothing for
you folks to hear/see move along please.
LOL, wait till the C20's show up & the 300PRC sniper rifles,
Yeah, C20's at $ 31,000 a piece_are they makin' them out of high grade titanium or what?
So you're also saying the aircrew of the CF aircraft were useless as well. Cool beans.

Why are emergency response police now covering their faces all the time now? I can understand protecting your face if there is a threat of fire and/ or heat flash if your actually doing some kind of action. However, if you are just walking or standing around why cover your face? Not good optics for "peace officers".

it was -2 degrees in Nova Scotia on the 18th of April and they've been outside all night. They're not dressed up to show off for the news cameras.
Let's be real here, I don't think most of us would have a problem with what the cops here are outfitted with IF WE WERE ALLOWED TO OWN THE SAME STUFF. As it stands everyone is angry that we're being forced to stay cooped up inside because of the virus and double angry that our guns are being banned without due process and theres seemingly nothing we can do about it. Honestly I am slightly pissed when I looked at these pics and realize that that i can't own body armor without a permit, I'll possibly never own the AR15 I always dreamed of and suppressors will likely never be legal either but hey if you join the horse cops and do your 6 months of training or whatever it is suddenly the laws for the serfs don't seem to apply to you anymore. Basically I'm unhappy that the most law abiding segment of society(licensed gun owners) seemingly can't be trusted with anything but sticks but if you're part of a government entity you can have whatever you want.
My news feed spews up the odd bit of content from the NY Times (shudder), and today one headline grabbed my attention. Something like 5% of the greater NYC area population evacuated between mid-March and early May, based on cellphone tracking. Seems the bulk of those people were in the top 20% in terms of wealth, and that almost all those in the top 1% who reside within that region left. Where'd they go? Mostly to nearby communities, at more of an arms-length from NYC proper. Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps because... they could?
Similar reasoning with our leadership. They don't have the education, training, nor the intelligence to start making a dent in the gang crimes of our bigger cities. Nor even the inclination, I suspect. So what do they do? Hunker down (in 'cabins' and 'cottages' to use the official euphemisms for JT's place and the one his wife took the kids to before Easter), then rally the troops (RCMP) to confiscate anything which might support any insurrections. Not that any of us were considering open rebellion. That's not the point. Just as was the case with the wealthy of NYC leaving town to avoid any potential meltdown of societal norms, so our federal leadership is busy fending off imaginary failures of manners at the level of zombie apocalypse. Karl? KARL? KARL!?
But fear not little blackface/brownface/sock-in-pants Justin, we're not foaming at the mouth to come after your wealth. We just want to keep what we lawfully own. And by lawfully, we're not referring to any made-up regulations designed to cover for RCMP ineptitude. Think about the 20+ drive-by shootings over the long weekend in Toronto. How many of those involved lawfully owned, or even unlawfully held AR-15 or other 'scary black military grade assault weapon type' rifle? None. Right, JT? Right, Bill Blair? Gangsters almost never use rifles. They almost never use legally purchased or even legally status 'registered' pistols. They import their gear through back channels, those channels which you guys should be watching instead of wasting OUR time and OUR money on prohibitions and 'buy back' schemes which are not even disguised theft of legally owned property.

I for one am happy they have all this gear. Our dogs will be killed instantly with less rounds when they no knock all of us. This will in turn save tax payers literally hundreds of dollars.
Does camouflage help with gun fights? Is there any evidence to prove what you're suggesting?
Well it depends on the location and what they are doing. Couple years back the RCMP HRT did a woods creep into a grow op location out in the middle of nowhere. In that case, yeah if you are wearing camo and are harder to see then I would expect a lot less incoming fire than the guy standing near you dressed all in the standard black.

If these were mall ninjas, theyd be wearing mall camo, ie Nude coloured skin suits bright pink underwear on top to look like window mannequins
Ever walked 10 km with wet soggy boots?
Probably at least a few of them feel that way.
According to several use of force instructors I have trained with, between 60 and 80% of all police use of force engagements happen at night.
Also, you either are grossly under estimating how much a cop costs, or grossly over estimating how much one of these armoured vehicles cost. Most of the popular models are between 300K and 700K. Your average cop with benefits, training, administration etc, etc, probably costs 200k a year.
But even two cops a year would be a better spend than one armoured vehicle.
The biggest threat to freedom and democracy is a full time fighting force with nothing to do.
IF it didn't help, no one would would bother.
People can't hit what they can't see. Sneaking up on someone before they can identify an adversary can offer result in apprehension without a shot fired. Getting spotted early gives the opponent time to plan and act.
Seriously look at the map of where this call was. Its on the outskirts of town with huge wooded areas. Green Camo is perfectly reasonable for ERT who might have to operate in the field, as opposed to the city, which is probably all of them. I don't understand why this is complicated.
Yeah, maybe they don't all need the best STANO equipment, or we don't need so many of them, but green uniforms is pretty basic and low cost concept. They need to wear SOMETHING, might as well be green.
Sure you did kid.
Thousands may not believe you, but we will here.
Please post more exciting tales. Yours are pretty neat.
Lots of great intell. Both positive and negative for CGN. Some real loons and internet heroes out there.
Finally after decades of effort to get the teams the gear they need , and more importantly the training they require to do this dangerous work safely. Good to see.
