Most cops have some kind of tactical gear kept in the trunk of their car. They don’t mess with it for each call they grab and go.
I’d rather have them wear night vision for nothing than spend an extra 10 minutes fucking around in the parking lot to not.
But I do agree with the main point of the post. Clothing plays a part in our psyche. If you dress sharp you’ll act sharp. If you dress slopply you’ll act sloppy. If you dress like a soldier you’ll act like one, and that usually isn’t what cops should be doing. Hammers seeing nails and all that.

i’d rather they not exist as a paramilitary arm of the state with a license to murder people. the same people they pretend have rights.
In this case both points are correct:
That shit probably sucks to install and remove, and only SWAT should need it.
