convince right away?

How do we know this isn't normal protocol for that police force?

Why can't they overprotect themselves? It's their call. If I want to use hand sanitizer every time I shake someone's hand, that may be overkill too, but I can do so.

You're the one taking it that way and expecting everyone else to see it as you do instantly. Someone called the protectors "dirty" (which they well could be, and how would that undermine the point of the protest? You're letting the M$M direct your thinking) and so some police force using hazmat uniforms therefore is intimidating to them?

Maybe real "homeless encampments" are a lot smaller. Maybe they do sometimes wear hazmats if they are of like size.
