In a cop-based “reality” show
Starring Steven Seagal as a pro
If he thinks a cool prank
Involves driving a tank
I suspect the right answer is “NO!”
Headline: Steven Seagal denies role in dog’s death
Actually, there are quite a few stories out, with conflicting claims. Apparently, Seagal took part in a sheriff’s raid, as part of his reality show, and at one point commandeered a tank. Sources disagree as to whether the suspect’s dog was killed in the raid. Sources also disagree as to how much money the suspect is suing for.
No sources disagree that this is precisely the sort of thing that anyone who would watch a Steven Seagal-based reality show is tuning in to see.
Some people may be tuning in hoping to see Steven try to run. Always comedy gold.
It was not a tank – not an Abrams or anything like a real tank. It was the Maricopa County sheriff’s department’s armored personnel carrier. That’s still way out of line for a raid on a chicken farm.

NOTE: The real tank with “War on Drugs” painted on its side was borrowed for the State Fair, and is not part of Arpaio’s vehicle collection.
