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

But I think you've got to strike a balance between police injuries and our horrifying dystopian future.
Remember that time in the 1970s when Japan experimented with similar uniforms for their police's special anti-terrorism division, the Wolf Brigade?

You've made it clear you're all for it.
If you can't beat 'em, join' em.
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.

The masks would be even better if painted in garish and scary tones. :ph34r:
It does look quite stereotypically like dystopian future military garb.
Aren't those the bad guys in Escape Plan?

He's a traditionalist.
No written constitution, but no armed police either.

Your dystopia and Tim's are clearly not the same.
The masks look an awful lot like a pic I saw in some magazine 20-25 years ago. Something about a proposed mask for SWAT guys.
Those are most likely a tactical police unit than ROK army SF. Guy's got a shotgun, for fuck's sake. THINK PEOPLE

Not like either of them could pronounce it anyway, ROR.
I see no problem here other than a screaming need for some Queer Eye. Being tough doesn't mean you can't accessorize with some color.

Yeah, my first thought on seeing the pic was, "With those masks, they ought to be armed with machetes".

With a reverse mag well.

It's not a Sten gun, he's just carrying his SMG at a 90 degree angle.

Maybe some version of MAC ? :unsure:
