Here's an M113 that's being used by police in Lewiston, Maine. At least there isn't an M2 mounted, like some sheriff's dept somewhere has. I can see why the kids climbing on it thinks it's cool -- the adults should be thinking "what the hell do they need that stupid thing for?"

However, the adults are probably also thinking the same as the kids -- "wow, that's cool!".

It's an M113 armored personnel carrier. And oh so cool for the kids to climb around on at the 4th of July parade. At least there isn't an M2 mounted, like some sheriff's dept somewhere has.

I think that's a stock photo he's using

Damn, you're right, that one belongs to the Lewiston, Maine PD. I'll leave it, since it still fits the topic (I doubt that Lewiston needs an APC or MRAP either).
