How many shots did the Bearcat block? Any way we can quantify the value of the Bearcat? Can we see the video of the Bearcat in action?
Would you bother shooting at an armored car in an attempt to injure those inside? You wouldn't be able to see them, you'd know chances are nothing you possess is going to penetrate. Would you shoot at someone sitting inside of a car in an attempt to injure them? Changes the dynamic a little bit, your odds of success increase as does the possibility you can see what you're wanting to shoot. Can't quantify things which are prevented, you know that.
I've already mentioned that armored vehicles have been used by the police in this city to protect people from rifle fire. Does it happen every day? Of course not. How many people should the police allow to be murdered while they wait for someone with a rifle to run out of ammunition? Or is it that their lives are expendable? They don't deserve protection? I thought you were on the side of LE when it comes to self defense. You can own an armored car and drive it all you want, why is that different for LE? We're not talking about a tank here. It's an F550 truck with armor plating.
