Quote:In a tactical situation, everything matters.  Wonder why tactile officers are often dressed in black?  It's because black doesn't reflect light.  Why dress in camouflage?  Perhaps because of the mix of lighting and/or the background behind them.

Needing camaflouge as a police officer is pretty much a concession that you find your community to be a warzone..  Sorry, but the fact is that the system failed the community.  The concession comes from the system, not the community in this situaiton.  Just something to ponder.

 

Unless you prefer to live in an occupied territory.  I prefer to live in a free society where my cops aren't preparing for war against me and my family and friends.  But hey, like I said, you're a rare breed.  You prefer the Authoritarianism of an occupied land so long as you get to decide who's being occupied.  

 

While the Anchorman and JIB are perfectly capable of explaining their points of view, please allow me an aerial view:

 

The Anchorman sees soldiers opposing civilians on American soil, and it elicits a strong emotional response.

 

JIB sees policemen in protective clothing doing their difficult task, and it elicits an analytical response.

 

I can't say either is "wrong" except to say that if my son were part of a team trying to quell a riot, I'd want him protected very well.
