SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Springfield's men in black are returning.
The city's new police commissioner, William Fitchet, says members of the department's Street Crime Unit will again don black, military-style uniforms as part of his strategy to deal with youth violence.
Fitchet's predecessor, Edward Flynn, had ditched the black attire as part of an effort to soften the image of the unit. Flynn left Springfield in January to become the police chief in Milwaukee.
Sgt. John Delaney told a city council hearing Wednesday that the stark uniforms send a message to criminals that officers are serious about making arrests.

My opinion:
They may be onto something here. New York city is doing something similar.
Watch the video
Now where is it in the constitution... that part about ruling by fear and intimidation?
Hmmm, Oh I know where I saw that. They also wore these cool little insignias to let you know that they meant business.
This one is kinda scarey. How bout this?
