No, seriously.
There was a time when bandits didn't advertise their evil intent. They blended in and you had no clue who they were until it was too late and they attacked.
The bad guys of the Western genre wear black hats and bandannas over their faces so you can know to keep an eye on them- while you watch the show. In real life I doubt they advertised so conspicuously.
But today the majority of the individuals you are likely to be violated by advertise their evil intent with badges and uniforms. Imagine that! You can tell at a glance who's the most likely, in a group of people, to be a real and credible danger to your life, liberty, property, and happiness.
We should all thank them for being so up-front about their intentions and loyalties.
