The US Military has law enforcement functions now; since the 1990s. A US Military CEV (Combat Engineer Vehicle which is equipped with a 165mm cannon and is mounted on an M60 MBT (Main Battle Tank) hull and turret) was used by law enforcement during the WACO, Texas assault on or about 1993. For now, that is common knowledge, the LAPD uses or used, a V-100 Vietnam era armored car (was armed with twin machine guns in Vietnam); it's nick-named the "tank" by department officers.

There are NO "light" or "medium" (or heavy) tanks in the US Military anymore. They're either MBTs or nothing (not tanks).

The Vietnam War was America's LAST usage of a "light tank" (the M551 Sheridan and the M41 Walker Bulldog) and the "medium tank" (M48 Patton tank). And the Sheridan wasn't even officially a light tank...it was an "armored airborne reconnaissance assault vehicle" & the Walker Bulldog wasn't even used by US crewmen, the ARVNs used it. The M48 Medium tank wasn't even officially a "medium tank", it was officially classified as a "90mm gun tank." But the 90mm was officially designated a "medium gun" (76mm being light, 120mm being heavy); therefore, the M48 could be officially called a "90mm medium gun tank."

This extreme power allowed the Gestapo to torture and even execute Nazi opposition. Unlike the German police, they were allowed to arrest on suspicion, this lead to many Germans to keep their thoughts to themselves, an overheard comment by a Nazi official would lead to an arrest and a sentence to a labour camp.
