Many police departments have had armored vehicles for decades. Even our
local sheriff's department has one. I asked a deputy once why...and he
said it was a crowd attractor at fairs and other venues where his
department tries to reach out for recruits.

Police departments also have access to the same light arms assault
rifles the military uses, and the same sniper rifles.

It is just an indication that the cops have more money than they know
what to do with

I don't know much about the drones, but I'm sure police departments with
lots of wide open spaces could use some of the unarmed variety to help
in search and rescue.
Of course this could bring up some alarming 4th amendment issues.
My real fear with these drones is that they will just be loitering
over people's houses looking for amusing things the cops can laugh
about.
What would you do if there was a drone hovering 50 feet over the pool
were your teenaged daughters were playing?

Same as the x ray vans. There are over 500 vans in the US, controlled by
law enforcement and private orgs. A congressman trying to get a list of
who bought and is operating those vans was turned down by the
manufacturer. The congressman feels as I do that it's important for
Americans to know who and why is looking at them through what opaque
structure?
