Topic: Patches

Observers attempt to photograph the patches worn by the demonstrators to identify their specific affiliations. They argue that the speakers were reciting lines directly from a federal handbook designed to provoke racial hatred. The goal of the event, according to the observers, was to make "good Americans" who care about the Constitution look bad.

Dave performs "The Ballad of Michael New," a song dedicated to the U.S. Army medic who was court-martialed for refusing to wear a United Nations uniform patch.

The segment concludes with a discussion on why such "politically incorrect" music is excluded from top 40 radio stations.

Lieutenant Beck discusses the aesthetics and practicalities of SWAT gear, including a "Strike Cobra" patch similar to one used by the Tulsa Police Department. He expresses a desire to move away from traditional black uniforms, which he finds too hot in the summer and overly visible at night. He notes that financial constraints often dictate uniform choices despite officer preferences for gray or blue.
