The Ohio State University police having an MRAP is the height of "police militarization has gotten out of control." I seriously couldn't make a better argument.
Do your campus cops have an MRAP though? Mine do. You know, for dealing with all of those IEDs!

Nothing better they could have spent that money on, of course.

They're donated. DoD can't use them, so they surplus them to law enforcement. It's still stupid for campus police to have one, but it's not like the university purchased it.

I'm like 99% certain they're paying delivery. Definitely paying for maintenance on this thing.

Thanks for pointing this out
Former campus police officer and have actually been in one of these overseas in combat. Given the active shooter threat on campuses these days, these often are used as SWAT vehicles. They're also brought out for public relations events and they're a big hit.
