Seriously... you're not joking on this? Swat units are now wearing ACUs? What the gently caress is wrong with wearing blue or black? What the gently caress!

This is really your first time seeing SWAT wearing camo? I think camo is more popular than one solid color uniforms nowadays. ACU, MARPAT, multicam, woodland, everybody's wearing the poo poo and has been for a while now.

The whole "I wish I was really in the military" thing cops keep doing mystifies me, since the military is not a particularly hard thing to get into.

"cam·ou·flage 5. (of fabric or clothing) made with or having a mottled design, as that used in military camouflage"

Well it meets that definition in that it has a mottled design like military camouflage

e: it fails the first four definitions though

If anything ACU probably works a lot better for SWAT teams in large cities than it ever did for the army.

How dare they where the uniforms of my beloved corps!

But for reals, I though black overalls looked tactical as gently caress but if these guys want to play army... fair enough.

e: they're probably at more risk of getting shot than a lot of grunts these days any way.

Hahahaha. As hosed up as that situation was, holy loving poo poo!!! Why did so many people fire their weapons?! So many times? Even in Iraq when I freaked the gently caress out during an engagement, muscle memory from all my field problems had me doing a controlled double tap. I thought SWAT is suppose to be like uber elite and poo poo?

Sheriff Joe's finest. If the qualifications to be part of his school protection posse is any indication (convicted child molesters and other felons) I'm sure he has very high standards for his SWAT dudes as well.

The one on the far right is clearly on plan K in life. She started out as a bright eyed art major, worked fast good, janitorial, trash, and now she's decided she need health care benefits.

Also canteen flashbacks but arghhh.

Furthermore, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
