Serious question, what was the guy being arrested for where they needed to be armored but don't have guns drawn on the supposedly dangerous criminal?

Need to make people fear dying or going to a death camp so they don't interfere.

I have friends that served in Afghanistan, Iraq, and even some that volunteered in Ukraine, and each one, to a man, has said they didn't have half the toys these tin soldiers carry while they were in an ACTIVE FUCKING WARZONE.

IIRC that all the clothes they had because their regular gear got wet and the dry cycle hadn’t finished by the time they got called to the plane. The news I got also said they were wearing tactical gstring panties.
It makes them feel desired! Don't slut shame them.
Fuck yeah Centurians
Fucking loved that cartoon
Gestapo did invest a lot in nice Hugo Boss image.
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.
It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.
GNU Sir Terry
Dont they have clips for quickly getting them on/off?
They do, but it's cops so it might take them a minute lol. Other than speed taking off the nvgs also fucks with the balance of the helmet. The other stuff on the back acts as a counterweight. Still removable but still I bet they just wanted to grab and go
This. They'd have to pop off the counterweight too, especially if these are bump helmets not ballistic, which tbh 50/50 could be either.
But why only two have ears? I'd rather have ears than nods, honestly! Weird choice.
(It's possible there's just not enough pixels to see the last guy's ears lmao)
Looks older, likely a SGT who just wants to dress up too but his mic is up above his ear.
Oh I see it there, thought that was part of the plane or something lol
Mic pointed up in case Jesus whispers down on comms or something I dunno. Watching these bumblefucks walk around in tactical gear they’ve clearly never worn except in front of a mirror is just embarrassing.
