they have the body armor and helmets with face shields but I notice they are not armed with automatic assault weapons.
I don't see any tanks either.

I mean, I guess if you're just looking at these three photos, maybe not? Dig into some of the coverage today and you'll see plenty of weapons and armored cars.

In one video 12 cops surrounded one protester - while one of the cops kept punching and kicking a protester while he was down.
