You'll shoot your eye out

While not addressing the military equipment, I have an observation on police uniforms. Over the years I have noticed the color change from almost baby blue to black. I have also seen a public perception on what behavior to expect from law enforcement deteriorate from "to serve and protect" to "kill us all and let God sort it out!". It's my subjective observation that the darker the uniform gets, the greater the corruption/brutality we will tolerate from them. It's as if they weren't police on patrol but soldiers on patrol.
Now I don't know if there is ACTUALLY any difference in the professionalism and actions that police take today. Somehow, after watching footage from the '60s, I don't think they could get any rougher than back then. The public attitude however has changed considerably. Way back when an officer was more respected. Today it's quite accepted to rip police viciously right in public.
I have to wonder if the more police uniforms resemble the uniforms of the Waffen SS, the more we treat them like they WERE the Waffen SS. Perhaps it's the other way around, maybe people who BEHAVE like the waffen SS prefer darker colors. I don't have any facts or figures, but It's something that I have been considering for many years.
