ORIGINAL: farglebargle What rioting protesters? Protesters can become riots on a moment's notice. That doesn't leave time to say "time out" and go put on armor and get helmets. Therefore, when dispersing protesters, it's a common tactic to don riot gear ahead of time just in case. Asking what you asked would be like asking why we give our soldiers body armor before they're attacked or why football players wear pads before the ball is snapped (if the ball isn't snapped yet, there's no play...thus no one running into each other and no need for such big pads). Ok, so your justification for the body armor and face shields ( as opposed to a plastic Guy Falwkes' mask ) is that there are rioting protesters, although there AREN'T really rioting protesters. There's a possibility of there being rioting protesters. I suggest the more likely scenario to be that the armed and armored cops assault the peaceful protesters. Did you Tony Bologna's performance on Youtube pepperspraying a peaceful protester? He got disciplined by the NYPD for that, which for NYPD is a 100% iron-clad admission of guilt...
