Regular police officers not wearing full body armor and tactical gear.
I think that's pretty dependent on the country
This reminded me of visiting London nearly two decades ago. People went "It's so safe, the police officers don't even have guns!"
I get there and maybe saw two cops that weren't armed, most of the rest were suited for urban combat down to the MP5 and half dozen mags slung around them.
I think London is its own special place. The Met police have a reputation in the UK for being rougher.
I agree with that, some countries don't have the money to oppress all fancy like that.
