I know we have a lot of LEOs on the forum, and I realize law enforcement policies in one precinct/county/state may not be the same as another precinct/county/state , still....
This is in regard to the photos of the NYPD clearing out OWS long-hairs from Zuccotti Park yesterday... is it common for precinct Captains to get down into the trenches and do battle themselves?
I ask because the question has come up elsewhere, and the Captain above doesn't really seem to be appropriately attired for street crowd control - bare handed, no face shield or riot gear - the white shirt/tie seems to suggest a more supervisory role, rather than active participation.
But, I don't really know if this is typical or not, so... honest question for forum LEOs....
