Reply #164: Tell me, if this was the case

why is it that not all officers clearing tents, or transporting prisoners wore these suits?

More to the question, why is it that LAPD is the FIRST department to bring these things out of storage?

There is a LONG history of this in US History, and creating the other when the other does not please the powers that be.

What the AP ran, for example, with some changes in language could easily be the story run in the 1920s after the Turner Raids, or the story run for them damn hippies... or them commies, or those lazy union workers.

So some of the tools are new, tyvek suits... but the language and imagery is not.
