Iranian Policewomen

I just saw a thing about this on news24 and I couldn't stop laughing!......The sight of 3 women in full traditional muslim dress hanging out the windows of a speeding police car, toting sub-machine guns was something I was not expecting!
There was also some images of them rappelling down the side of a building, SAS embassy style....but in thier dress code they looked like nuns (with guns-hahah)
All this going on whilst in the background, some trance/house tune from about 5+ years back playing out at the actual demonstration not even over the news report (if anyone saw it and knows what the tune is, please say I recoginised it but it was only about 20 secs and have no clue what it is)
they have spent the last three years attending intensive military courses, including judo, fencing, using firearms and laying mines.
Aaaah, the regular police job of laying mines in the road!
The only courses still restricted to men are the use of heavy machine-guns and grenade launchers.
Is it the army or the police?
instead their uniform will consist of trousers and a long coat, and maybe even a ski suit, depending on the mission.
......Or maybe even arctic commandos?



I tried looking for some of the action pics but they were nowhere to be found........

Anyone else think that with the swords they look like the emperor's bodyguards from starwars but in black instead of red?.......or maybe im just a geek


Anyway, I found it funny when I saw it but I'm thinking it aint too funny anymore but im bored so there! I did also find this whilst looking for some pics:

Could it be the fact that they are nuns and they have guns?

i think it may be the fact that the "nun" in the middle looks more like a serial killer, especially when holding a rifle in her hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comic genius it may be, but I do find it horrible seeing men kitted up in Nun's or any other female clothing.

This doesn't make you shudder just a little bit?

It doesnt make me shudder, it gives a different kind of feeling.....a little glowing warmth in my belly, but I'll leave it at that

in the pic of the nuns, none of thier heads look real, they kinda look photoshopped onto thier necks
