This next site’s motto is “Firearms, Not Politics”, but they did see fit to report on the guns carried by the Saint Louis County Police. The title and a sample:

The Guns of Ferguson

Image: 76953879_453575526.jpg

This officer has a very well set up AR10, what appears to be a Knight’s Armament 7.62 SR25 with a 3rd party monolithic handguard and barrel, most likely free floated. Looks to be Harris bipods, Badger Ordnance charging handle,leather sling, and a U.S. Optics scope. The tripod is a Montrotto with a rifle rest clamped to the top. The canted Trijicon RMR and Inforce flashlight are rather puzzling on the other hand, devices meant for a close in fight wherein his rifle is a long range precision arm. Image from BBC News -

Take the time to read the comments on this story. They actually have some useful tidbits. The Firearms Blog polices its comments quite well so there is no racism to be seen in the comments.
