Yeah this is a silly cultural thing. I participate in a non-law enforcement, completely volunteer emergency response organization, and other members will buy black tactical vests that "look cool" with their name and the organization on them. Meanwhile... I wear the... brightest most neon thing I possibly can because when I am in the middle of a four lane road directing traffic, I want to be brighter than the sun because I don't want to get hit.
From volunteers up to the ICE gestapo, people watch too much TV where the cops get to shoot things up and look awesome doing it, and that's often what they want to be.

- gishh 1y ago> I participate in a non-law enforcement, completely volunteer emergency response organization Can I ask you to expand on this part? I’m really, sincerely curious.
- ocdtrekkie 1y agoSure, it's the other US-CERT which is not related to computers. ;D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_emergency_response_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_emergency_response_t...
