Cops in alot of areas look like bad ass swat team members... And they don't look friendly at all. I know a few cops and doesn't bother me but I could see why a cop dressed like that instead of a blue and white uniform on foot is deemed unfriendly and unapproachable. Some cities are reverting to non all black uniforms due to it(started prior to all this BS).
I think another reason to limit what military type gear they wear and their appearance is it makes an area seem like a bad area and people don't feel safe. IE if the cops have to have automatic weapons and tactical gear jeez must be a rough area.
Just my 2 cents.
