...Because when their sports fans go mad, someone needs to pull the plug on the party.
The riot police are a fairly uncommon sight in Callentine streets, except during large gatherings such as sports tournaments, or during politically charged situations, like strikes or protests. They are known for being quick and efficient in dispersing and subduing crowds, using a mix of intimidation, less-lethal weapons and knock-out gas to bring assailants under custody without any resistance.

Probably because they can't afford real body armor? I don't know how many people are willing to lay down that kind of cash for something just to go with a fursuit, its an expensive endeavor and it's probably a lot more economical to just go with what is existing; an airsoft player using their gear to have fun outside of the playing field.
Gah, straying from my main point here. I mean when they don't make everything look practical. Like I mentioned above, sure, kind of cool to see a dragon SWAT dude, but if you're gonna do it think realistically (...well..as realistically as you can get with a dragon SWAT Officer) and not have...giant wings sticking out or something.
I dunno, that's just me. I think most furries in SWAT/Riot armor look silly, but this guy managed to pull it off quite nicely.

I actually do agree with you; that it DOES look silly 99% of the time, considering that most people don't really put a lot of thought behind body armor and how it would work with even just an /anthro/, nevermind a fantasy creature. But my argument was more in regard to actual, physical, costuming where economics would be a factor. I could rant all day on people not drawing believable armor/gear. Or uniforms for that matter. A particular praying wolf-soldier painting comes to mind. xD
But D is pretty awesome at getting it right. I love his designs to bits. <3

I'm actually a bit concerned by that riot suit. It doesn't enclose enough of the body. A riot offer's suit is fully encompassing, enabling them to literally march through the flames of molotov cocktails, or even take a direct hit from one without burns. Exposed bodyparts (in this case, the neck, tail, and ears) are a bad idea for that.
