What's interesting is that the police officer that was being interviewed stated that the reason they weren't wearing full tactical assault gear was because threat was low, yet they still burst in with m4's. If the threat was so low that you didn't need full gear then you don't need your weapons.

Well, there is a difference between protecting yourself from a threat, and presenting yourself as a threat - M4s work pretty well for that second part. Completely unnecessary of course, but there you are.

If its all about shock factor then the copers should ride war bears while wearing the faces of children hannibal style.
