A former riot policeman says protesters everywhere even dress the same. The riot uniform consists of: “military fatigues (rather ironic since they detest the military and war), bandanas (sometimes over their faces), chains, boots, stocking caps, and gloves. Some have mops of longish hair or dreadlocks.” In their nonconformity, he said, “they assume a look that conforms to half the people at any protest in the country.” Loren W. Christensen,
