Here in South Dakota, a few years ago, the Governor accquired armored
"peacekeepers" from Ellsworth AFB. They are used by the SD Highway Patrol
in any instance where needed. The HP has it's own SRT, and these vehicles
have been used all across our state already.

BTW, I think my tracked armor looks a lot better (M2A1 with 50 cal BMG and
a couple of 1919A4's)
