[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16315700, member: 51947"] Colorado is getting weirder and weirder. Just in the past decade it's been sobering... beer goggles coming off, and everything is uglier. Even though the only immediate family I have left lives there, I stay in Kansas and drive there ALOT. Home values in/around Denver are skyrocketing. It wouldn't surprise me that many people have an insurance policy that covered their homes value 5-10 years ago (and that's what they still pay for in coverage) but now the house is worth many times more. If you are not constantly changing insurance companies or have a crappy agent and a lax mortgage company that probably doesn't stay on top as it note keeps getting sold it'd be really easy to be under-insured there too. I.E. Sister and husband bought a house in Lakewood made in the early 60's for $236k in 2009, about all original (aluminum wiring, sigh). Didn't do much updating aside floors, sold it in '16 for high $300's and built a new house in Castle Rock. Today the Lakewood house (still not updated) is worth $446k+ Ultimately it reminds me of the old saying of "If your main tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." but now it's apparently, "If you have armored vehicles and [i]actual [/i]military hardware, everything looks like a military operation." I don't mind swat having APC's, flack jackets, etc so long as they use them in a [i]defensive [/i]law enforcement capacity. So instead of using an MRAP to literally drive through the front door, why not drive up using it as cover to toss a few flash-bangs/teargas in the windows? Shoplifters don't often have body armor, belt fed fully automatic weapons, and RPGs. Just like if someone was stealing a package off my front door, I cannot use a claymore (if they were legal) attached to my ring doorbell to stop them... I've got to hope the picture is enough.
