Frein Manhunt Turns Into Farce

I'm beginning to think that the officer(s) in charge of the manhunt for Eric Frein should be fired. The Daily Mail reports:

Police on Tuesday brought in an armored siege vehicle as the hunt for alleged cop killer Eric Frein moved into its 11th day. 

'The Rook,' described by its manufacturers as 'six tons of pure responsive force' will allow officers to shield themselves as they hunt for Frein in dense woodland in northeast Pennsylvania.

"The Rook"--For sneaking through the woods

According to the article:

The Rook is the latest piece of equipment to be brought in to try to find the missing man. Made by Ring Power, a company based in St. Augustine, Florida, the 13,000-pound tracked vehicle can punch holes in walls, remove cars and shield cops, and costs $245,000 and $445,000, depending on extras. 

On its website Ring Power describes the Rook as equipment for when law enforcement is facing 'the worst-case scenario,' such as a hostage rescue, barricaded suspects, riot scene or natural disaster.

(Underline added). They can also use it to get cats out of trees.

I wonder if the Pennsylvania State Police have noticed that this glorified forklift only protects them from someone to the front of the vehicle. It looks like a shooting gallery from the back.

If attacked from the rear, the officers would be trapped with no where to go.
