As their normal uniform.

It disturbs me when SWAT is sent to 'investigate' a party where there smell of pot burning was reported.

It disturbs me when the same guys taze a young deaf man to death for not following verbal orders.

It disturbs me when the same guys choke a mentally challenged man to death for movie hopping in a multiplex cinema.

Yeah, I'm disturbed.
