All these people in tactical gear vs Postal workers in short sleeves and shorts? [View all]

Postal workers visit every part of every city in America six times a week relatively safely every day.
I am guessing the only reason all this military type gear is all over the place is because a 1 percent trump donor makes it all.

Making people wear all that gear in this heat with no apparent threat is just mean (pukey). IMO.
