Geez, Corduroy.................Let's cross that bridge when we get to it..................ain't likely to happen in my lifetime and probably not yours either!
I wouldn't bet on that JLM. There is a reason there is an escalation of police violence and why police forces are getting more militarized.Geez, Corduroy.................Let's cross that bridge when we get to it..................ain't likely to happen in my lifetime and probably not yours either!
Does anybody think the police are dressing like this for your protection or the protection of your rights?

When you deal with known protests where violence easily escalates, I have no issue with that gear.
For some odd reason, that pic reminds me of Peter Sellers in "The Mouse That Roared". All he needs is a feather sticking out of the helmet.

Law enforcement is losing its respect and it has nothing to do with left or right
the problem is law enforcement is becoming a military organization rather than
a civilian law enforcement agency. I think it has to be put into perspective for a
moment. Most the vast majority of officers are decent folks doing their job and
in amongst them the rabble that has been hired. The ordinary cop does not
hire these people so the fault lies at the top. In addition the political nonsense of
so many women so many men so many of each race and culture and so many
left handed people and so on. There should be set standards and it makes no
difference what color or gender or anything else meet the requirements you get
the chance to train, don't meet the requirements look to do something else

When the medium wears the gear you get the message. In other words, the over militarization of domestic western police anticipates a mob reaction that it compells . That's free assembly planning not policing.

Crime has been on a steady decline for years. Why do the police need bigger and fancier tools to deal with a dwindling problem? Can anybody say spineless politicians.
Our politicians are not our politicians. In my local we are being treated with a brand new prison. I hope they have good heating.

Haven't seen anyone around Vernon dressed like that!
"Crime has been on a steady decline for years"- Yeah right! So why the need to be building more and more jails? Crime has actually been increasing exponentially. People have simply given up reporting a lot of it. A lot of the stuff that used to be crime, the cops aren't bothering with anymore because they have "bigger fish to fry". Years ago I worked with a guy who was sentenced to 4 months in jail for possession of one joint at a time when it was customary to get 6 months (1968). You mean crime has been decreasing since we could go to bed at night and leave our doors unlocked! Grab a brain!
You'll probably find all the makings (except for the cuffs, belt and truncheon) at your local high-end bicycle shop
