Well, isn't that something? Oakland, about as communist radical as you can get in USSA, and not a peek from protesters about this type of event? Wait, they are totalitarian radicals, all those ex hipsters from long ago, so they maybe like this stuff.
You know, all this gear should make those no-knock raids safer. The ones where unfortunately dumb-ass cops break down the doors to the wrong house and are met by armed resistance? And it would make them safer in the no-knock raids where they get the right house, too. Because barging in and grabbing the crack and the cash and staying safe, that takes some gear, man. Get yourself all geared up, and get ready.
Because it's really not about the terrorist they tell you to be worried about on the TV. It's about taking the cash while doing the job of getting the drugs. The cash is just a bonus. The War on Drugs, well, it's a tough job but someone's got to do it.
