OCCUPIED CHICAGO- That sea of light blue helmets protecting the NATO summit in Chicago last weekend may be a novel visual to those accustomed to police state armor black, but that’s because most 60s era news images were black & white. Color photos from Life Magazine remind us that light blue was the team color of the Alabama state troopers who brutalized the Civil Rights marchers trying to march from Selma to Montgomery.
That Darth Vader in Black look was just getting just so passé, they went and changed their look! No doubt they will now figure the cost of the new uniforms into how much the NATO protests ‘cost’ Chicago.
