The manufactures of armored cars for thugs feel uncomfortable about admitting that [ they are made to repress protesters ]( http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/09/09/armored-vehicle-manufacturer-flips-out-after-its-representative-explains-why ) . When US thugs use their military-style "counter-terrorism" gear for suppressing protests, it turns out to be illegal; [ thug departments that have done this could get in trouble ]( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/09/police-military-gear-riots-repay-millions-senate-ferguson ) . Rather than fining these thug departments, it would be far more effective to take away their heavy weapons and armor. Or maybe the rule won't get enforced.
