Un-SWAT!

The leadership of the Philippine National Police has decided to prohibit members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) from wearing their black uniform because members of a robbery-holdup gang are using it in their operation.
One veteran SWAT member says he feels uneasy wearing the ordinary police uniform after being accustomed to using the black uniform that adds prestige to the elite police unit.
In stead of creating a special task force that would go after the gang, here they are prohibiting the authorities to wear their uniform.
What if the gang members start to use the ordinary police uniform? Or the fireman’s uniform? Or the jailguard’s uniform? Will the PNP prohibit using them, too?
