The only reason they have camo is because it looks cool so they can pretend army. The helmets and rifles have their place. The Olive Drab armor was designed for Police and Military use.

Dark Blue, Olive Drab, and Black fatigues would be more practical, but people insist that they need tacticool camo.

Geraldo Rivera brought up a brilliant point today on FOX: people aren't looking at the actual story, but more at the fact that a white man shot a black man.

I think you should all watch this (a video of looters robbing a liqour store): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EY5FLWZVzo

When you are watching the video, then tell me that these people are victims of racism, and oppressed.

Caribou, you do realize that literally nobody in this thread is saying that, right?
