Vehicles

What the cool military occupiers drive. Or as Donald E. Westlake put it,
State troopers love driving Fury IIs. State Troopers will go on driving Fury IIs until some company puts out a car called Kill. Then state troopers will drive Kills. State troopers get their self-image from Marvel Comics.
ETA: And from the same source, another officer takes it beyond symbolism.

Thanx to The Agitator

Self-reference

The French law against wearing a burqa in a public place cannot be enforced against a woman who insists on wearing a burqa in the courtroom.
