[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3376476, member: 26737"] I don't think he was necessarily arguing for a dedicated unit that does nothing else, just that they don't need most of their officers outfitted like that most of the time. At least, that's what I inferred from "There are no decent reason why a beat cop needs to run around looking like (and having the equipment) they are busting down doors in the Helmand province." FWIW, I first heard this argument when NPD switched from their old brown uniform shirts to the dark blue/black BDU-style uniforms back in the '90s (and some of the worst criticism came from older officers who were also veterans). To be fair, though, I've not seen any NPD "beat cops" who ran around dressed for busting down doors most of the time... [/QUOTE]
