Victorian Police Hummers…

Here’s a photo of the the latest weapon the Victorian Police have employed to reduce alcohol “fueled” violent crime. Are they kidding?

The rentoid view on Hummers is clear, and you can read about it here. You’ll notice we let the Hummer lovers and hater post comments as the please. We don’t moderate opinions.

But the Police Justification on why they have got the Hummers on board is laughable:

“The idea of going to the Hummers is that it’s about trying to measure visible impact so we’ve got to try to introduce something which might look different to our current fleet of vehicles. We want to be visibly seen and we want to make sure the police out on the streets are recognisable and that we do reassure the public that we’re there.” Asst Commissioner Gary Jamieson said

Don’t the sirens and big big blue letters saying POLICE already do that?

Here’s some of the comments we found about the issue on the www.caradvice.com.au

Tim said: That excuse is just pathetically laughable….G-Unit style aye.

Austin said: You don’t need to transport suspects anyway, they just roll right by in their hummer with their glock out the window popping caps in hommie’s arses…

Frenchie says: Maybe they can mount a machine gun on the top! That’ll give them more presence!

Neil Said: Yeah because us Melbournians have really been calling out for the cops to go patrolling the streets in H3’s – hwy not just substitute one of the patrol cars for a bright-coloured SV6 or XR6? Of course what else can we expect from a government that continues to ignore our health & public transport issues
We have a more serious problems than a lack of publicity – how about more coppers for our growing population?

John said: Lol, ‘police kill 3 in high speed chase after attempting a pit manoeuvre in a hummer’.

AC Cobra said: WHAT A JOKE, I’m so scared AHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!, now police are driving hummers, what are they going to to do with them besides wasting many public tax paying fuel dollars, our average copper will grow such an ego trip chasing public off the road with big brick’s on wheels…They should be driving battery operated Toyo Priass Golf carts, poor toyoda, the company just dosen’t receive enough recognition or media hype these days.

RA said: Nice approach to sustainability and practicality, I realise that these are not H2’s but still.

Stav said: Waste of Taxpayers Money whats Next F430???

Anthony Said: Will GM pay the fuel bill too?

The Salesman said: Wow this is a great idea. But why stop at Hummers? If you really want to be seen lets get police tanks. Might not help on the high speed chase so lets modify them with NOS. Suddenly i dont feel like going out for a drink anymore.

WVB said: The Bl**dy things look like ridiculous radio station ‘giveaway’ trucks from 10 years ago.
….here you here’s your free handcuffs.

Things that make ya go Hmmm!
