police

Police in Europe are very different from police in the USA. They all have the same goal - protecting citizens and preserving peace. But they dress so differently. Britain has many officers that surround the queen's palace and other historic sites wearing a red coat and one of those funny hats. There must be other officers, in a more flexible uniform, patrolling the streets, but we never saw any officers wearing a cotton uniform, or tactical pants, or any other clothes that looked remotely comfortable.
