Quote:The image shown by flsprtsgod wasn't SWAT. Those were regular police in full camo gear responding to regular civilians, not hardened criminals. I responded in kind with what a proper riot squad should look like. 

I don't know where FSG got the image, but that's not what I'm used to seeing at gatherings of regular citizens, and I sure as hell don't think that's what the guys in Dallas were dressed like.

 

Riot police in this country tend to look a lot like riot police in other countries.  Just saw your Ferguson pic, but I believe Ferguson was a very special case that escalated beyond your average riot.  Gas masks?  If it gets to using tear gas, it's a special situation.

 

Again, not that I care.
