the country is on a rollercoaster to hell without any breaks when "pants" are designated LEO only..
You need to send her a few pics of Skunk... Show her what real tacticalness looks like.

'Blink, the 5.11s are assault pants.
Assault pants have two or more of the following:
1. elastic waist
2. d-ring
3. man-down handle
4. slant-butt pockets
5. say 'tactical' on them.
My RR 5.12 Odyssey pants only have one evil feature (slant butt pockets) so you don't have to register them in California....

So what's the best price on these tacti-cool pants, and where do I find them? If it's un-PC to wear them, that means they're for me!

I would chart that I can no longer find any physical disability to prevent officer so and so from returning to full duty. I would also file a complaint with her department about her unprofessional and disruptive behavior. Finally, I would contact the clinic from whence she skulked and let them know that you will not be able to treat her further, due to her disrupting your office.
I was a Navy Corpsman in the 80's and occasionally when myself or a fellow corpsman was harrassed by a new marine at the front gate, when we were going out or returning from liberty, we made darn sure that marine received "special attention" next time he showed up for sick call. We were never hassled twice by the same marine.

She started ranting off about why I was wearing 5.11 pants and that only COPs and FEDs wear them and why was I into "COP" stuff.
When she comes back, select from the following:
1) I wear these pants so I can feel as manly as you do.
2) This knife is to test patients to see if they are faking nerve damage to stay off the job. I usually stick it in their left cheek so please undress and put on this "johnny" and I'll be right with you.
3) Why don't you stop faking your injury and get back on duty so you can catch real criminals?
4) How did you get your injury? Were your 5.11 pants too long because they only come in men's sizes so you tripped coming out of a Dunkin Donuts?
5)
6) The knife is primarily used to cut you off from the benefits you receive for your fake injuries. Please give me your benefits card so I can cut it up.
Later,

Well, I bought my 5.11 vest on Saturday, and have been wearing it every day. When I went onto Ft Knox (twice) I didn't get searched. No one has accosted me. I can't say anyone had looked at me any differently. Due to a wierd foot injury I was limping all weekend, and that may have drawn some attention, especially in a military community.
As for the vest, with the cargo pockets on the left side, it's easy to load up that side with personal stuff. I would be happier with it if there was one cargo pocket on the right side instead of two. However, I can put my cell phone in one and my checkbook in the other, with the billfold in the right chest pocket. That balances the other pocket trash that goes into the lower left pocket, along with the Bodyguard I placed in the left CCW pocket.
The handwarmer pockets are too small for it.
For me, stuff in trouser pockets is becoming a distraction, so an upper garment to carry it in is preferable. I can also take the vest off, and all the stuff is in one place. When I get ready to go somewhere, I can just throw the thing on, and my stuff is on me.
And as long as it doesn't say "POLICE", it's NOT an item of police clothing!

I'd like to add, that I'm partnerned with a Royal Robbins affiliate and if anyone needs anything in the 5.11 department, Winchester Ranger Ammo, Dummy rounds, Wilderness Belts, or Sidearmor products to let me know.
FWIW, the royal robbins vest is by far the best IDPA cover garment I've ever used. Its light, its breezy, and its FAST.

So Duke, what's your pricing on the 5.11's?

Not just cops and feds but...California State Park ecologists, geologists, museum personnel, administrative personnel, and seasonal aids (?). See the 5.11 website:

Oh yeah, the shorts are authorized for lifeguards and lifeguard supervisors!
45R,
My initial thought was that she is over-compensating. Since she doesn't feel comfortable dealing with real felons, she needs to compensate and find evil doers in other than the ranks of those that would do her harm. IMO she needs a psych exam to determine just how bad this psychological problem is; meantime, I would report the incident.
RR 5.11 pants are civilian attire adopted by the Feds (FBI IIRC) and then copied by other LE groups -- Fed-local. They're comfortable and practical, not LEO only. I wear them all the time, just another pair of pants.

Yes - isn't this exactly what the gun-grabbers are doing? They can't or won't do anything about criminals. So, they come after law abiding citizens. We're easy targets because we aren't skulking in the shadows. They can't get guns out of the criminals' hands so they do "feel good" marches and get anti-gun laws passed that harass honest citizens.
These are the same people who make the movies that teach kids to kill. These are the same people who want psycho killers released from prison because they didn't have a Teddy Bear when they were kids.
You cannot have a rational conversation with these people for the most part. They usually don't have much of a social/personal life and are desperately trying avoid being complete losers. After they tire of, "Save the three-toed, one-eyed salamander", they look for something else. Unfortunately, we're often "IT".
Our only hope is that they miss their episode of "Starting Over" and overdose on one of their anti-psychotics/tranquilizers. A 90 pound anorexic yuppie bitch on Prozac racing a 3 ton SUV to pick the little ankle biters up at their psychologists. And we're dangerous??? Hint - if you see an SUV with a "Million Mom March" sticker - RUN!

Are there local outlets for the 5.11 pants, or do you have to buy them online?

Things like this happen, then cops wonder why people hate cops. I think I wouldn't have been able to restrain myself from humiliating her in public.
I swear the only easily noticable difference between the 5.11s and a pair of cargo pants I got from the Gap is the cell phone pocket and the angle of cut on the back pocket.

Don't forget the 'man down' handle
Kharn,
I am wearing some now and own probably half a dozen pairs. They are OK, but they are pants. They keep the environment out and my genitals unexposed. I have found out that I have to wear them, because unfortunately as a trainer I have determined that people pay way too much attention to what the instructor is wearing and not what he or she is doing. When I show up in Dockers and a sportcoat I am just another know-it-all suit. When I show up in the 5.11s, GSG9s and Instructor belt I have to be credible and cool 'cause I look like everybody else who is supposed to be cool. I wish that my credibility was based on my work, and not my wardrobe.
I am ashamed of myself and embarrassed. Now I feel like a whore in cheap lingerie, I look like a fed in basic training, and I dont know which is worse.
