You want us to believe that's video released by the govt. showing SS Suburbans? Looks more like a Blackwater mercenary vehicle used in Iraq. I can't imagine a scenario where that would be used in a Presidential motorcade.

I have seen quite a few POTUS motorcades living in L.A. and once when Clinton was traveling Sunset Blvd. they had the tailgate windows down in the Suburbans and they were stuffed nuts-to-butts with agents in windbreakers holding AR-15s or similar small auto weapons. I think there might have been a PU truck or two full of agents in the open beds holding the same.

Overseas it would make TONS of sense to have one of those at both the front and rear of the motorcade.

BTW, to anyone who's never fired one: Hahahahahahahahaahh MINIGUNS ROCK!

It would make an excellent vehicle for cruising Compton

What's the towing capacity?
I bet my parents would like a new tow vehicle for their travel trailer and I'd love a minigun.

You could clear out that line at the boat ramp pretty quickly.

I have seen several newish black Surburbans around el lay with that turret looking device on top. I've never seen one open and since their was no motorcade involved it made me wonder if someone is producing an add-on piece of trim to make it look like a turret???

Or could it be NEST?
