Quote:In one photo, police officers are responding to the protests in armoured vehicles, initially developed to withstand improvised explosive devices.
Other photos show police wearing army green shirts and camouflage pants, similar to the uniforms of US marines, and carrying guns based on the military-used M4 carbine.
I have to wonder what the difference is between this, and using the military for law enforcement (which has been prohibited by the Posse Comitatus Act since 1878).
