Kinda nice

I could see this for anti-riot police in Montreal.  Would keep the number of injured policemen down.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

But I think you've got to strike a balance between police injuries and our horrifying dystopian future.
Let's bomb Russia!

Remember that time in the 1970s when Japan experimented with similar uniforms for their police's special anti-terrorism division, the Wolf Brigade?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

P.S. I have no idea what Tim is talking about; although Sheilbh is woefully enamored with evil politics, I've always supposed it's because he thinks they're amusing insofar as he doesn't live here, in the same way that you or I may find Albert Speer's memoirs to be interesting reading.

Of course, the joke's on him, because it turns out he lives in Dystopian Future Ground Zero.  Imagine a government that can't even afford a boot to stamp on a human face forever.

He's been rather up front that civil liberties are not an issue for him at all.

I guess the guys on the left side of the truck are supposed to stick their head in the door and the guys on the right are supposed to peek over the wall.

It does look quite stereotypically like dystopian future military garb.

Aren't those the bad guys in Escape Plan?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Your dystopia and Tim's are clearly not the same.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
