> I can't see any justification for local police forces having military vehicles
Many years ago, Congress passed a law that has the DoD sell off vehicles it no longer needs to police for very good prices. The police get those vehicle for around $3000, which is much less than a conventional car would cost.
I would guess that for most departments, the low cost is their justification.
