Large television screens on each side of another O’Brien truck showed videos of a bull being dragged to the ground at a rodeo. An L.E.D. display on its front read “Shame on Mitt Romney,” while a placard saying “Cruelty is not the Olympic spirit” was affixed between its tail lights...
Dramatically spotlighted and showroom shiny, the CBI Magnum Force 4000 attracts a crowd at the Las Vegas Convention Center. CALIFORNIA ROAD LEGAL, a placard practically snarls, and men who were once machine-crazy boys gape at the 4000's sleek profile and jazzy racing-yellow paint job, and also at its 60-in. discharge conveyor, hydraulically powered swing-away anvil and bolt-on wear liner.

A bluntly-worded placard now reads, "Reinforced armor-plated door locked from inside cockpit only."
