Everyone is getting into these nuances (like, the goggles can be unclipped.) But if you know you are going on to a goddamn airplane, why would you wear any of this big bulky shit in the first place? You’re limiting your ability to move in a crowded space. You know he doesn’t have a gun because he went through TSA (because those guys are super accurate and professional, right?) so this “bad guy” could just start crawling over seats to try to get past you and get off the plane, meanwhile you’re stuck in the aisle like a turtle on its back with your Ya’ll Queso beer belly and all your big boy GI Joe gear.

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?

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.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching horrible videos of people being removed from planes and arrested for being way too drunk.

On airplanes what they do with someone who won't leave their seat is get everyone off the plane, and then arrest the person at the gate as they leave, or drag them kicking and screaming from the plane.

The fact that they wanted to show up in full CODBLOPS TACTICOOL GEAR for this shit is the most disturbing part.

Drunk white women? Everyone gets off the plane and the Karen is hauled screaming.

(What is likely a) Misdemeanor immigration violation?? We're going in there like fucking Snake from Metal Gear.

Shithole country.

Shithole species.

Shithole phylum.

Embrace fungus.

Gestapo did invest a lot in nice Hugo Boss image.

They really just sent in the gravy seals for this op.

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.

The night vision is one thing, but the obese US police officers wearing tactical/military gear is fucking worse.

We are definitely in an era where people just want to feel powerful or in control and will ignore any level of atrocities to that end. And it's easy to lie to yourself. Because you will say what you want to hear.

10% of the population is still getting everything it could want and the lies that its all worth it. I don't know how we retrigger empathy though in a world of manufactured apathy.

Cops cosplaying as soldiers. Christ I hate this timeline. They’re pathetic.

Small penis syndrome.

Some human monkeys will reach for higher goals, like knowledge and/or a truer sense of community to what we have.
Some human monkeys will get mesmerized by shiny bling, which on an intellectual level is an equivalent to rubbing feces on themselves and flashing their teeth.

There's a painting from WWI, done by a German artist, can't remember the name, but it's like a portrait of your generic military general. You cannot see the body nor the face, it's all covered in hundreds of meaningless badges and medals.
We still see this bullshit today in any official picture from a Pyongyang parade, just look at the generals standing beside the "dear leader" or whatever they call him.

These stunted mindless grunts on the airplane are a reflection of man's failure to transcend the goddamned swamp from which we came.

tacticool gear.
