Sheriff Lott's New Toy Radley Balko | September 1, 2008, 1:12pm The Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff's Department (that's them above) just obtained an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle "The Peacemaker," and insists that using a caliber of ammunition that even the U.S. military is reluctant to use against human targets (it's generally reserved for use against armored vehicles) will "save lives." Can we call this overkill, yet? Is there any weapon people like Sheriff Lott would consider inappropriate for use against American citizens? Like most of these military toys obtained by local police departments, the Peacemaker will inevitably be used on drug and gambling raids—that is, to enforce laws against consensual activities. Or, as we're now seeing in Minnesota, perhaps on raids against leftist political activists. Can't be too careful, you know.

Several molotov cocktails will turn that APC into a rolling BBQ-pit.
Someone needs to introduce this cretin to a .50 cal sniper round.

That, or the Barrett .416 round would do.
A nation of mullets, ruled by inbred, moronic tyrants.
Auto-.50 cal Guess we all better take it to the next level so as not to be completely over run. I'm going to pick up some more .50s myself and bury them all about.
