L.A. Unified says that the M-16 automatic rifles, which were modified to semiautomatic since they were acquired in 2001, are “essential life-saving items” and will continue to be available to trained officers. The armored vehicle will be used only under extraordinary circumstances, officials said.

Could we have an example?

The department remodeled the vehicle, which is used as an attraction at school events and parades, Sgt. Barhin Bhatt said.

“It’s a rolling public relations vehicle,” Bhatt said. “We end up having to bring out a gas can and jumper cables every time we want to drive it — it’s only used twice a year.”
