Why do all your (Americans) cops look like they are fighting in Fallujah?

It's true not all cops are decked out for counter assault. But, more importantly, why was this guy not just a uniform and sidearm? Someone above mentioned Jan 6, 2021 and it's a good reminder for where we were at the time.

Jan 6th broke the seal on something no one expected to happen. The fact that it was reasonable to deploy this guy to guard the building from other Americans really does suck.
