The “UN Police” MRAP That Wasn’t
So a bad photoshop has been making the rounds on the internet:

Here is the original photo:
The photo was uploaded to Facebook by a John S Cinque, apparently to protest his local police. This photo was shared by a group on Facebook called the “Virginia Militia,” which has a passion for uploading pictures of armored vehicles from around the country to spread fear and hatred of the US and local governments. From there, it was photoshopped by persons unknown to spread fear and hatred of the UN.
The doctored image was brought to Mr. Cinque’s attention on Facebook, and he had this to say:
Mike yeah I just saw it on another persons thread people need to not do this kind of stuff but then again there are agent’s among us who try and pump out this information and try to discredit people and try to bury the truth I am sure this is a case in point
If you see the picture posted feel free to tag me in it so I can set the record straight
h/t Alouette and Gus.
