Earlier this week, President Barack Obama banned the sale of certain military-style equipment to police departments. Brian Kilmeade reported tonight on "The Kelly File" that Obama also thinks that police officers should have "softer looking" uniforms.
Kilmeade explained that Obama thinks that police officers are "making things worse" when they show up to inner city communities wearing military-style equipment and riot gear. "They're concerned about the helmet. They're concerned about the shield. It's sending the wrong message," Kilmeade stated. "I used to think from the civilian point of view that that would be a reason not to riot, because the police were ready and ready to act."
Obama commissioned a review of the equipment programs last year after protests in Ferguson, Mo., over the shooting death of an 18-year-old black man by a police officer. Kilmeade told Megyn Kelly that this is "unbelievable" and that if he were a police officer, he wouldn't show up to the next riot.

Something to soften up that helmet and shield:
Better would be to get rid of full auto:
Not needed.
So what’s wrong with jackboots, helmets, and mirror sunglasses?
“You’re in a heap of trouble, boy!”
Pink or lavender uniforms?
This from a man who is surrounded by a phalanx of armed guards everywhere he goes. Whose route of travel is scoped out days in advance. When cars parked along the route are towed and manholes welded shut. A guy who wears a Kevlar vest and travels in an armored car and a private aircraft with defensive armament. What a crock of Sheite from this Hitler wannabe.
Maybe something in a nice velour.
Yep, but I bet he won’t let them carry a beheading knife!
‘Course he’ll want all the BLM, EPA, and FDA SWAT teams to remain adorned in full military regalia.
If the inner city dwellers want to make their neighborhood a warzone, they should expect their police to come dressed appropriately.
So....fancy knee-length leather boots. Cool looking form-fitting black 600 count cotton?, nice high-brow garrison cap and a few cool insignias? Maybe some cool red and white armbands....maybe an Obama Sunrise?
That kind of thing?
Maybe Obie can get one of Moochelle’s designers to create something for police departments. Boob belts for sure!!
Wow! Looks like the First Douchebag has been watching too many episodes of Portlandia. At least now we know for sure where he’s been getting all his insane ideas from.

BTW, what if the police simply paint all their military-looking equipment pink (or lavender), do you think that would help too?
How about body armor to protect the body cams, or just remove the eyeballs and replace them with cameras.
sending the wrong message,??
HuH??
They’re just trying to stay alive as they are pelted and told to just stand there..
obammy is the one who needs to transform..
I remember the proposed redesign of the USMC dress uniform went down like the Titanic.
