    LAX PD Weapons

    I was in the international terminal at LAX today and saw several police officers in the terminal carrying mostly M4's, but there was one sergeant with a HK UMP 45ACP...

        The pic is not a UMP-45. It's a UMP-9.
        The UMP-40/45 uses a straight mag, the UMP-9 has a curved mag (like in the pic).

          They seem to have variety of firearms for their use. I've seen them with HK MP5 a few(3-4?) years ago. Seems like they usually show up when El Al airline check-in is open.

                I'm still not use to the police being militarized. Don't think the founders would like it.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

                      I'm sure it has a great deal to do with the shooting at the El AL ticket counter several years ago

                        The founders sent the marines to tripoli to fight terrorist(pirates). Under international law the marines and coast guard are "police units".

                            Then you'd be wrong. Read your history. No, Wikipedia or CA school books do not count.

                              Yes, the UMPs are rad! They've also got MP5s and M4s along with other goodies. They are deployed depending on need.
