Mario Williams gave them the car. He's a "cop", remember?

Well...his title, "Peace Officer" is under review for whatever reason. But yes, he did donate these, along with the ghost Camaros in Houston.

And I 100% support it too, all the way from Phoenix. Texas feels like it's my second home.

Yep, most of the patrol cars for MSCO are Chargers now. Some of the city PDs have them too.

Still a lot of Crown Vics for DPS, but they did get the new Explorer for their SUV and K-9 units it seems.

Its under review because the school passed him even though he didn't take enough hours. The school got in some **** for it as well.

It couldn't be that much worse than the old fox body cop stangs or the camaros. Hell, a crown vic is probably pretty terrible on gas as well.

My taxes help pay for the gas in the car and I have no issue with it. The car can be used for high-speed pursuits, but it will primarily be making the rounds at schools and fairs and such. I'm all for that, anything to get kids interested in law enforcement and see cops on their side and not as the enemy. Anything that increases the visibility of cops in the community is a good thing in my opinion, and if they have to have one car burning a ton of gas to achieve that, then so be it.

Also a ton of the police departments here in Texas, and especially in Dallas, use Tahoes. I doubt those use much less gas than that beast will.
