Behave, or I'll knock your block off

Delaware County Sheriff Al Myers is happy to have received a federal Homeland Security grant of $187,000 to purchase an armored vehicle, a "BearCat." It's their second, but this one's cooler.

The adjacent, more populous Franklin County declined to buy one of these things, considering it a waste of money. What the hell were they thinking?

My favorite part of the story is the line quoting the director of Ohio State University's "program for International and Homeland Security" (one wonders, not too much, where they get *their* money), who "said the purchase is not outlandish."

That should have been the headline: Not outlandish.
