The Tempe, AZ Police Department Just Triggered The HELL Out Of Gun Grabbers

Motorcycle cops in Tempe, AZ, have been outfitted with AR-15s.

As motorcycle cops typically get to the scene of a crime fist… I think it TOTALLY makes sense.

According to Fox:

Some officers in the Tempe Police Department are now able to drive around with AR-15 rifles mounted behind them, local authorities said.

At least eight of the department’s motorcycles now have a mount on the backs where officers can place the rifle. Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told KNXV that the department tested the mounts for a few months before deciding to implement them.

The reasoning, he said, is to equip the officers with something more powerful than a handgun, as motorcycle officers are typically the first to arrive at a crime scene.

“We don’t want to go into those situations where we aren’t able to keep the public safe,” Elcock said, adding that there’s a special “locking mechanism” to keep the rifles locked onto the motorcycles. Fox 4 also reported that the gun barrels are pointed toward the ground when they’re on the mount.

Elcock, who said that officers in Tempe who drive regular patrol cars have been equipped with such rifles “for years,” acknowledged that some people “may be scared to see it.”

“However, when we explain to them the reason why we have it I think it puts them a little bit more at ease,” he said.

Elcock did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.

Awesome.

But wait! Wanna see something funny?

Look at the commentary on Fox LA’s Twitter:

Police in Arizona say eight motorcycles have been equipped with military-style AR-15 weapons to provide officers with more firepower should they need it. What do you think of this? https://t.co/L2NXY0M2V5

“military-style AR-15 weapons”

HAHAHAHA.

And of course, the headline calls AR-15 “Assault Weapons.”

So um… Fox LA employs Capuchin monkeys as writers, correct? Because if anyone BUT a Capuchin monkey wrote this… it’s embarrassing.

Speaking of embarrassing:

This makes slaughtering innocents that much easier.

Because they want in on the fun…
Because they are staging up for a war, with someone…
Let’s cheer for the police state!
