South Carolina sheriff buys tank to conduct raids
September 2nd, 2008 by MonkeySouth Carolina sheriff buys tank to conduct raids: 
Don’t even think about running an illegal bingo game in Richland County, South Carolina.
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.’
