Only in the US.
Police cyber trucks are coming.

In this era of electric cops and cybertrucks seems like a mighty duo, I think it’s a truck primary for cop duties (bulletproof) and the armor allows for blocking shots.
"Militarized"????

What are the chances cops will still “fear for their lives” while shooting from inside one of these?
Oh wait, what if this is the perfect excuse for them to use lethal force?

what aspect of this POS is "militarized"? if you're talking about the steel body blocking bullets, there seems to be a lot of space under the car that people can shoot at your legs with. and didn't it got stuck in a little bit of snow when it was first released? in any case, if the police department has the kinda money for this, how about putting those funding into something more useful, like better body armor and what not? or I don't know, hire more staff to deal with nonemergency stuff and actual investigations?

You're Dutch as well right.
I live near a huge police station. On the way to work I saw a police man walking one of their dogs on a bicycle lane surrounded with lush greenery and water.
He was carrying a firearm.
Protocol and all but fuck me if didn't shaked my head. I live in a relative peaceful place so the necessity escaped me.

In the US, the Supreme Court ruled that the police don't actually have to "protect" citizens.

It’s been the plan all along.
I think it’s roots have a very happy origins, and the public perception on these vehicles is interesting.

Yep! Amazing, huh? That's why they took off the "serve and protect" part on police cars.
Here's a shorter summary of the case you posted:
