Not sure what is going on in this picture. Looks like the police car has gun ports through the side and front glass an has extra armor on the radiator.

Always carry a spare, or 2 and be sure you have a big gun.

Yes they are, but would act as reactive armor of sorts.

This one labeled Buffalo so I assume it was Buffalo NY from some of the other pictures in the set. Some interesting weapons. Looks like a double barrel hand shotgun on the left, not sure what is in the case. 

Any ideas what is going on?

Cashe of seized weapons is my guess. Looks like a grenade launcher in the box. 

[Jeb48]

You're probably right, I was thinking maybe an Eliot Ness bootlegger task force.

Be careful where you park, you might get your wheels swiped.

Buffalo Memories III: The Early Years and the 1950s

Friday, February 23, 2018

Some of Buffalo's finest in 1930. In uniform, second from left is Buffalo Police Commissioner Austin J. Roche and at right is Arthur D. Britt, then an auto squad lieutenant and later longtime Erie County Sheriff. They are showing off newly-acquired guns that fire gas shells and illuminating star shells with parachutes.

And they think LEO is too "militarized " now?
