Police Surveillance at Evander Campus

We found this School Safety vehicle right out of the movie 'Stripes' across the street from the Evander Childs Campus. In the movie a similar vehicle attacked an enemy prison where a troop of soldiers were being kept prisoner. In freeing the troop the similar vehicle in the movie also took down a tank.

So just what is the purpose of this war like vehicle that was parked in front of a fire hydrant?

-Engel On President Trump Banning Transgender Service Members in the Military

  Congressman Eliot L. Engel released the following statement:

“Today the President has taken steps to weaken the strongest military force in the world by banning transgender individuals from any form of military service. This decision is disgraceful, discriminatory, and severely insulting to all current and future transgender service members who want nothing more than to serve the country they love. The language the President used in announcing his decision, stating our military ‘cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail’ is brazenly ignorant of how the military operates and the contributions transgender service members are already making. The United States of America faces grave threats from evil forces every day. We need every person who is willing and capable to help face those threats.

“Every day we struggle to make our society better, but this decision by the President to exclude certain patriots from service does the exact opposite. Discrimination doesn't make America great. This decision cannot stand and we must do everything within our power to fight it.”
