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.

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

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.
