Police departments don't need military equipment. Wearing a combat helmet is just provocative.

they dont need combat helmets tho

Yes. Peaked cap will do nicely. It's not like police officers would ever get shot at. Protective military equipment is for soldiers only, not for valor stealing cops.
>>30262127
>give cops military equipment
>they stand outside with their mrap for 3 hours before finally going in and accidentally shooting more innocent people
bravo

They don't need to use it for every little thing, though. This, clearly. And if there wasn't the market incentive they wouldn't really need them for drug houses and such nearly as much because the bottom would fall out of the black market.
Having jack booted thugs kick down a man's door and possibly shoot him because they didn't announce themselves and he tries to defend himself.
Yesiree, that's sure promoting liberty and sensible rights for the average citizen! YOu know, because he was growing pot. Pot is BAD, some busybody nonagenarian should be able to ratify into law and common practice the right and goal of the police to storm your house and shoot you unannonced because they know religiously, that Pot is for Hippies and other Sodomites.

The whole point of the second amendment is being able to shoot government agents in the head.

>You don't need that helmet!
Do they issue cops crystal balls now, so that they can read the future? Because if you're responding to a call with a suicidal man with a gun, you probably want to wear a helmet, even if you don't want to shoot the guy.

??? you can still do that you dumb fuck, nowhere in the second amendment does it say "oh btw pigs and g-men can't have guns or armor or anything"

Nowhere in the consitution is the government given authority to have armed paramilitary forces patrolling the streets 24/7 either.
>>30262541
It does give authority to ensure laws are enforced mate, and saying that the point of the 2nd is to 'able to shoot government agents in the head' is several levels of retarded. Also
>All police are federal
>State constitutions are irrelevant
And
>armed paramilitary forces patrolling the streets 24/7 either.

Not him, but Article II alone states that the "[President] shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States"
