Yeah. Fairfax called in the best of the best. It is an incident resulting from the protests

They love getting dressed up in their fancy gear.

But the cammo colors don't make sense! You're in the city but you need olive/sand/green drab to conceal yourself?

Shit is ludicrous.

"Cops have long emulated the military, aping their uniforms, haircuts, rank structure, and customs and courtesies. Often, to a rather absurd level wherein chiefs of small police departments wear the stars of a four-star general.

"In many ways, the military is a good model of a professional bureaucracy. And bravery, sense of duty, and calm while in harm’s way are things we want our police to aspire to.

"At the same time, however, the military’s warrior ethos is antithetical to what we want from domestic law enforcement.

Soldiers are trained to kill without hesitation and adopt a macabre sense of humor as part of that transformation. Images of skulls and cutesy slogans about killing are often seen on t-shirts and bumper stickers.

Cops, though, aren’t trigger pullers by mission. Desensitizing them to violence probably isn’t a good idea."

How Did America's Police Get So Militarized?

"Police across America are being trained in a way that emphasizes force and aggression. Recruit training favors a stress-based regimen that's modeled on military boot camp rather than on the more relaxed academic setting only a few police departments still employ.

The result is young officers who believe policing is about kicking ass rather than working with the community to make neighborhoods safer.

Police recruiting videos actively play up militarization as a way of attracting young men with the promise of Army-style adventure and high-tech toys.

Policing, according to these recruiting videos, isn't about calmly solving problems; it's about you and your buddies breaking down doors in the middle of the night.

SWAT's influence permeates the force. Take the increasing adoption of battle-dress uniforms (BDUs) for patrol officers. These militaristic, often black, jumpsuits make them less approachable and possibly also more aggressive in their interactions with the citizens they're supposed to protect.

A research project at Johns Hopkins University seems to bear this out. People were shown pictures of police officers in their traditional uniforms and in BDUs. Respondents, the survey indicated, would much rather have a police officer show up in traditional dress blues.

The report found: 'The more militaristic look of the BDUs, much like what is seen in news stories of our military in war zones, gives rise to the notion of our police being an occupying force instead of trusted community protectors.'"

They're nothin but a bunch of wanna be GI Joes that get to play dress up .

You ask why the SWAT teams wear the olive drab clothes...

Well lets look back a few years...

SWAT teams almost all wore black. People were bitching about the black uniforms. Black was being worn at the time because most search warrants being served by swat teams were at night or very early morning. Black was a no brainier. After lots of complaints, swat teams started moving away from black. The olive drab was really a much better choice to start with because when standing in bushes or trees on the outside of a house during a barricade, the olive drab blends in better then black. Why not a blue uniform? Because blue contrasts against the nature surroundings.

fuckers are getting high pay and banging pretty women on the beach in MD

meanwhile they are having work done on their luxury homes by illegal mexicans on the cheap - not protecting us from invasion - inviting it - telling the world they are a free haven for illegal mexicans

this is how they're thanking you the taxpayer: running drills on how to kill as many tax payers as possible (the people they owe money to) while using your money against you in many ways

is it a coincidence the army base that protects Washington is close by to MD ? that many fed contractors live in MD and MD is LIVING IT UP ? that seedy polititians live there, and, allot of fed money goes there ?

all of the above: no, HELL NO

protecting their living large and getting pussy

protecting the united states (meaning "our land", the interior)

hell no

The picture of the SWAT team is from a shooting incident in Chevy Chase in March.
