Eeeeh, it's pretty standard riot gear, I don't blame them for wearing protection. Riot gear looks like that everywhere in the world. I'd say the Russian OMON looks scarier with the urban camo uniforms, plus they absolutely do not fuck around.

And then there's the Belarussians, in this pic they're not even wearing protection and they still look scarier than the dad bod in riot gear in the video: https://vid.alarabiya.net/images/2020/09/12/7405494b-5f34-496b-8fa6-6aa86971b162/7405494b-5f34-496b-8fa6-6aa86971b162.jpg

What I do blame them for is standing down while rampaging hordes of antifa and feral niggers were setting every major city on fire last year. The difference in reaction between that and Jan 6/today is staggering.
