They have that frightening anonymous look about them, where they don't appear to be human. I try to imagine the person inside all that gear and what on earth they could be thinking. Perhaps being less identifiable makes them more aggressive and violent.

You know, I think about all the movies I've seen about authoritarian governments and they are the ones that always scared me the most. Now we are seeing it in real life every day.
