Not to the extent they've been using them the past few years.

They even get the kind that are protected against mines. I listened to a News report where a SWAT guy was talking about it and was really glad they get these things.

Look at what SWAT used to have -- a delivery-truck looking vehicle. It had bullet proof windows and a thicker shell. It was nowhere near the military grade vehicle they're using now, complete with a gun turret on top.
It used to be the SWAT was used solely for extreme circumstances. Now it's being used for car repo's and other warrant issues. What's the need for a gun turret? Protection from mines? Who's using mines?
Aren't the police here to PROTECT and
SERVE? These guys are thugs with a badge. We're citizens with constitutional rights, not enemy combatants.

I can maybe even see needing to disperse the crowd

I don't know about other areas, but the video of these "police" firing tear gas and rubber bullets at the news crew is chilling. Fortunately there was another news crew on a different street which saw and recorded the incident. The story is even more chilling. That news crew had spoken with the "police" before being fired on. The "police" there knew it was a news crew.
Check out the video and please point out where any protestors are. Please show where the news crew posed a threat to these "police." After the police fired on this crew and they were running away, the camera pulls out for a wider shot and it's an empty street where the crew is. They were behind the police line as they were told.
