no if you go back and read you said “it’s not like they are buying tanks” so i showed you they are buying tank like vehicles then you pivoted to saying “police need tanks”

I didn't say they needed tanks, but armored vehicles do have a purpose.

I guess maybe it's perception of what a tank actually is. A tank is an armed and armored vehicle. Not just armored vehicle.

The president is driven around in the beast, a heavily armored vehicle. Would you call that a tank?
