Whatever we do is going to be a compromise. Depressing morning or depressing afternoon. But between the two, I would choose the compromise which requires not changing our entire lives twice a year.

Schools can adjust times if they feel they need to. Big deal. And I say that as someone with kids. I'd rather keep my kids on the same sleep schedule, and simpy go to school a half hour later or whatever makes sense for when sunrise is in my particular location than change the damn clocks twice a year. The adjustment is a bitch every time and it takes about a week to normalize.

The department goes to a supplier and orders it?

A real true M4 isn't really obtainable outside the military, but a generic AR in the exact same configuration is relatively easy to get. (Though for private non-LEO citizens, you can't have full auto without shelling out several thousand for the transferable machinegun lower receiver.)

This reminds me of the time my dad borrowed the Chief of Police's personal truck to make a dump run. When he got home my dad found the police issued hand gun in the back seat unsecured and in plain sight. The whole time my dad was driving the truck around with that just rollin' around in the back.

Yeah, that's what I want to have when I live in a city where people constantly having catalytic converters stolen from their cars. A nice and not inexpensive electric charger right alongside the road sounds perfect. I'm sure they would last long.

I'm all for the electric car revolution, however I worry about the practicality and logistics of charging stations when you don't live in a single family home, and nothing you or the other person replying to me has said eases my concern.
