How you can compare a police unit to the Nazi state based on the colour of their police uniform I don't know. Have you even seen a picture of the uniform you're condemning so vehemently?

You say that they are dressing for the criminal, not the ordinary person. This makes no sense. The ordinary person wants the police to tackle the criminal and if this is a measure they’re taking towards that, then why not?
Black uniforms were very much the hallmark of the Nazi SS. Their official newsletter was named 'Das Schwarze Korps'

Most police forces - perhaps including this one - actually wear dark blue uniforms, not black.

The swastika used to be a perfectly innocuous symbol before the Nazis hijacked it. I don't think you'd waste your breath attempting to defend a business or political group which attempted to 'reclaim' it today.
