redkow97 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 They'll rationalize it as a crowd control/terror response vehicle. To be fair, the (second?) largest university in the country would be an appealing target for anyone looking to maximize casualties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Considering the issues they've had before and as mentioned, the size of the university, it is very much like a city in of itself. I would say I would expect that they would have one in case rioting or student protests... I think that OSU has a police force that is equal to that of any city. So, I am not surprised that they have SWAT style items on hand. Unless I am delusional. Which is often the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am definitely not a cop lover(I do love Cox and he happens to be on OSU's PD), but I actually agree with this. Like Redkow said, and like I've discussed with family and friends a lot of times, OSU would/is(it is) on the top of the list for Terrorist attack planning. As Brian stated, it's a city in itself, it actually has a similar team to SWAT, but SRT, along with trained snipers, bike patrol(Cox is one) Harleys, not just pedals although Cox in spandex would be awesome. They have K9's, and do a TON of training. I've talked to him about what their training is like and it's actually pretty unreal, it's not like the rentacops we had at Muskingum who somehow had guns, and knew nothing about the law or safety, just got a badge. But I think it's actually wise to have something like this there, and the price was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Free is a good price.This is always good........ and btw, OSU is ranked as the 3rd largest by enrollment as of Dec 2012. 2008 they were ranked #1, 2009 #2 and at the end of 2012, 3rd. Overall they are ranked #52. Edited September 18, 2013 by ohiomike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpaw Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm sure the maintenance/fuel costs are free as well I'm all for keeping the students safe, but everything comes at a cost. How much is tuition this year? (Sorry, if too snarky. I'm in a office that analyzes every penny we spend under a damn microscope) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 If it just sits around, probably not much Yeah, if they have the extra space to store it indoors, I can't imagine maintenance would be much.Fuel is only when it's being utilized, so no big problems there.

How much is tuition this year? (Sorry, if too snarky. I'm in a office that analyzes every penny we spend under a damn microscope) That only counts if you consider the portion of maintenance/fuel over and above a different truck. If the excess maintenance and fuel costs more than purchasing a regular truck then it does not make sense financially to accept this free truck as it becomes a white elephant. However, I struggle to accept that the excess maintenance and extra fuel would offset the cost of a new truck. So, from a penny-pinching-perspective, free truck=good. Now, time to go on patrol and stomp the guts out of some jaywalkers and panhandlers. Someone man the turret gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidersDiscount Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Cox said he gets to drive it, think we can have him DD us sometime this winter in that thing? He's so baller. Dude that would be legit getting picked up from a house on Greek row by that thing. I can see it now, "dude, SWAT just rolled up everyone run!" "naw man that's my ride, fit's 10 ladies, who needs a lift back to my place? Sorry, no bros." Then ladies come running from the bushes in awe of your excess manliness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
