The Jack Booted Thugs May Be On Our Side

[peristaltor]

Walking home from a failed dental procedure, I passed a new bank branch and, since it is one of those hated multinational banks, it's guard. He was wearing the usual for small branch security; black outfit, Kevlar vest, and, yes, jack boots

There's a lot of that going around. The black compbat togs, kevlar vest, and jackboots don't change anything: security guards have no real authority. Wearing the gear without the legal authority to back it up is asking for trouble - you've already escalated the situation just by looking like that.
