Gotta make sure you break up your silhouette using a desert camo pattern in the well-known desert of Adams County, Ohio.
It’s weird that there’s only one LEO in multicam and the rest are in black uniforms.

Afroman has good taste though, those HS-5s sound beautiful, surprised he didn't spring for the 8inch subs though. Guess it's simple if you're not mastering jungle.

Was the operational target a structure in a wooded area where this individual needed to sneak up on without visual detection? Is that the reason for the foliage-coloured camo?
Because it does not look like the operation involved sneaking around a wooded area to me.
Couple that desire to cosplay with a large funnel of tax dollars going to purchase military purpose weapons for potential use on domestic civilians and we have a resultant system no different than high-school aged kids wanting to prep for airsoft.
Except it is different. They have the ability (and sometimes even the express desire to) escalate and potentially kill other people.
Outside of the due process that is the law they swear to uphold when sworn in to service.
It has done a full circle now where companies that design camo patterns make ones specifically for police, such that they don't have any actual camouflaging purposes, but still look like camo (and not just boring plain blue or whatever). The language used by the manufacturers to describe them is very telling, e.g.:
"The MultiCam Black™ pattern was developed to meet the unique requirements of law enforcement officers operating in high-risk environments. It projects a distinctly authoritative presence appropriate for domestic operations. MultiCam Black™ is designed to complement an officer’s existing equipment and present a sharp, professional image for top-tier law enforcement units."
(here's how this "authoritative presence" actually looks: https://i.imgur.com/TqyzNJp.jpg)
Or here's another one:
"Ghost was derived from both A-TACS iX and LE-X. Ghost is designed and a tactical option for Military, Government and Law Enforcement Urban Operations. Ghost combined eleven variable shades of neutral grey that not only gives it and aggressive look, but it is also very effective in urban settings."
