Photoset of OMON Riot Police, I think it's a photoset from reenactment/photoshoot compared to actual OMON

One of images are blurry because lack of HQ versions of the last image

"(...) I was told this in a distant land where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand And a mission of saddened complacency left cold and emotionless by history Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen All the while I should have known it was you killing me (...)" Dead Can Dance, "East of Eden" (album "Dead Can Dance", 1984)

Belarusian Militsya (Беларуская Міліцыя) from 1990s. They look like American cops in a way (especially the hats)

I don't like cops personally, but hey cop uniform is interesting too
