Really they rolled out a tank against Occupy Protesters?

I've probably spent more time in Tampa Bay and it's surrounding areas of Pinellas Park and St Petersburg, then anywhere else in the US.

Imagine how unimpressed I am with the fact that the Tampa Bay police took out their TANK against a couple dozen peaceful protesters?

We were poking fun at the Syrian Army for painting it's tanks blue and I was thinking what kind of civilized country has TANKS to use against it's citizens. Well I have my answer don't I? 

It's reassuring that when I search for Montreal tank on Google, all I can find is our police force selling woman's tank tops on their police brotherhood support website :)
