I'm also open for a $8,000,000 donation. Interested PM me and I will provide you an account where you can place your donations.

So in an attempt to atenuate the anger the that this annoying summer heat produces me at night, I was watching U2’s Where The Streets Have No Name videoclip, performed in a rooftop in Los Angeles in 1987 and which shows a considerable amount of police vehicles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzZWSrr5wFI&sns=em At 0:47 there are shown various LAPD Kawasaki KZ1000 motorbikes. At 1:45 there can be seen two Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Chevrolet Chevette’s, with an orange beacon mounted on the top. At 4:00, a couple LAFD apparatus pass in front of the cameras. At 4:55 there can be seen again the Chevettes, followed by a brief scene of an officer talking on the radio, next to a LAPD Ford LTD. According to the infinite source of wisdom Wikipedia is, the police action in the clip is real, just a bit forced at the ending so they intervened forcing them to stop the concert, giving it a more dramatic ending.

I can't say I like the aestethic of the Javelin too much, AMC has always had some peculiar designs. I'm fond of the AMC Eagle, the Wagon version in particular. Thought for off-roading, they were solid and generally realiable vehicles. The 4 wheel drive versions came standart lifted. California Highway Patrol. The two above are not exactly Eagle but Concord, non 4WD version. Both pictures are from the Baltimore Police Department, it would be interesting to know what was going on in the second one... Above, Heidelberg Police and Brooke County Sheriff. The sedan version may look a bit... let's say... "special" but the wagon is pretty nice, especially from rear. No idea which lightbar is that, FCV96 is who normally knows about this kind of stuff. The mirrors seem to be aftermarket. Looking forward to see some progress of the restoration but for some reason I think it shouldn't take him too long to do it, at least the paint job part

Seems to be a rarity; there’s barely any info or pictures of the 442 on the web.

Yeah, I'm awaiting for him to reply.

Bumping this up with another FBI training video from the 1970’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri4e_wpDc54&sns=em

Of course the millions of innocent people repressed, murdered and exploited are poor and live in countries far from Europe and America so who cares about them? After all, people under that other ideology has killed more millions than we have, we must be better. But the riot police doesn't always repress only violent demonstrations. They obey the orders of the power, and the power puts the line of when to act, a line which is obviously according to their own interests.

Sorta reminds me to the Tuareg people and how they can make a broken truck work in the middle of the desert with the most rudimentary materials. Here’s a cool 1985 video of the FBI Hostage Recue Team, their tactics and equipament. Most of the local SWAT teams of the same time look much more dated, these guys already looked like the SWAT teams of the early 1990’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKfzhAI2dy8&sns=em I wonder why back in the day they didn't wear helmets...

Why has the comunism even brought to this topic, pointing out that capitalism is faulty means that I am supporting comunism? By the way, you should check the amount of victims the capitalism and American imperialism left as well in places like South America during the XX century before pointing to the Soviet Union and comunism as the only criminal side. Specially since the financial crisis started, banks and corporations are the only ones which are being benefited, the Governments help them at the cost of taking people's rights away (social, laboral, etc). And when people show their unsatisfaction what do they find? The repression by the State, which cares more to please these entities than helping out the people. I can't see how this is having the same protection under the law.

Yes, it’s applied everywhere else, it's the wonderful world of the capitalism. I haven't said the riot police shouldn't exist, I've said that it works for the power, and sometimes the power forget who should they work for, the people. And when the power needs to silence the people's will the riot police comes into scene. Why do riot police help a bank, a private corporation, evict a normal working family who’s not going to burn the streets down or anything like that?

Governments do, then so do law. The picture was taken in Manaus, Brazil, during a forced eviction.

The riot police is a clear example of which side the law enforcement would officialy by: the capital and big companies.

If find that generation of the Mustang probably the dullest of its whole history. Few curious pictures of the custom air intakes made to filter the ashes expelled during the 1980 eruption of the mount Saint Helens and prevent it to get sucked into the car engines. (^it's not actually water, that was supposedly some kind of joke) Washington State Patrol Trooper Jim LaMunyon set up a road block at Interstate 90 and Geiger Road in Spokane. An emergency was declared in Eastern Washington, and all State Highways were closed for several days after Mount Saint Helens erupted.

The other day I heard the song Word Up watching some flick and immediately came to my mind that sensation of having heard it during the childhood, like some kind of deja vu. The truck with the odd cab of the first clip is a Mack U600, in the case that anybody wonders it. Continuing with the music clips, in this scene of the beginning of the movie The Wall (1982), around the minute 6:00, there can be seen multiple cop cars (fake CHP) equiped with Twinsonics, a motorcycle and a step van and a good amount of police brutality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tJm-227_8I Then there's this short scene where the British riot police responds to some mob breaking into stores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRiNFPlNCN0

The 1969 Fury and Polara were truly sexy vehicles. Officer Richard Ancell in Albuquerque Police Patrol vehicle, a Plymouth Fury, in Old Town circa 1971. --- About the Polara for GTA, Poctik is active at GTAForums, I could try contacting him there but, is there anybody here who would be willing to make the conversion to a cop car (just in the hypothetical case he doesn't want to make it but give us the unlocked model to make it)?

Kind of ironic shot. Meter maid writes a parking citation for a Sheriff car, in Asheville, NC, 1970’s.

Oh, so it basically depends on the poly amount, now I see why some low poly cars have so weird reflections... And I'd be glad to try the new version ;)

Well, first off, my respects for taking the initiative to model this all stuff. Second, would be any chance to make the reflection of the car bigger? I have the slightest idea of modeling terms and this all stuff so I'll just throw this picture here.
