I guess If this doesn't strike fear into angry soccer fans,
perhaps nothing will. Police in charge of patrolling next month's World
Cup in Brazil are going to wear a 22-pound, flame resistant "Robocop" suit
that, to put it bluntly, looks extremely intimidating. Built using
heavy duty plastic, the suit protects officers' back, chest, and
shoulders, and includes a mask to protect from pepper spray. There's
also a belt to hold weapons and handcuffs.
Two hundred of the suits will be distributed to the Major Events
Police Battalion. The suits aren't for just anybody: officers must serve
six years in the force before they're allowed near them.
