A mob of 300 people is not the local police responsibility that's what the national guard is for. If and when there was civil unrest with police being targeted with bombs and cocktails, then you could address that specific area of concern. Maybe the solution would be to bring in the National Guard for a time like in Fergesun, but to assume police across America need MRAP's, APC, M4's, Grenade Launchers, Body Armor and so on is ludicrous. It enforces the viewpoint that's being drilled into them from the federal level America is a War Zone. It's the same justification that's been used to pass legislation such as the NDAA where the President (any president) has the power to detain and or assassinate American Citizens deemed a threat to the state! 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
