It is a funny pic, but basically underscores the complete lunacy of wasting money training police while we here in America cut our own police forces due to budget shortfalls.  I'm sure the fine people of Europe would also love to invest their money in something besides the police force of a 3rd world narco state. 
Sorry to get political, just can't help it sometimes.   :-[

If investing money in the Afghan police stops the drugs there reaching here, then it's money well spent.  It's known as investing in the future.

A thoroughly optimistic view that has little basis in reality or history.

What a funny contrast. Its a toy with an eternal smile made by a company that will not even let people do what they want with them after purchased and here they are being used to help train police/? deal with very nasty situations.  :hmm:

Well, If the USA hadn't funded and trained the Taliban/Al Qaida in the 1980's, they wouldn't have to train an Afghan police force now to fight them. They might have some more money left for donuts for the U.S. Police :lol:.

NATO forces are pretty heavily involved in AFG maybe some European trainer recalled his or her kids had some police toys and had some sent over.
