Counter-Insurgency Warfare in Boise?

“Boise is one of several Idaho cities and towns — including minuscule Preston, which is practically crime-free — where police departments have obtained MRAPs, which were designed for counter-insurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chief Masterson insists that Boise residents who are alarmed over the prospect of police militarization are focusing on what he calls ‘the symbolism of a free vehicle.’ The MRAP, he maintains, will protect his officers — whom he calls ‘peacekeepers’ — from ‘high-caliber bullets and bombs’ in what he calls ‘an increasingly violent society.’  This depiction of Boise as a proto-Fallujah can charitably be described as statistically implausible.”
