'Polite' riot gear made from a repurposed South African Police Service helmet, used in a workshop with children at A4 Arts Foundation. The gear was acquired through Mary Wafer, who at the time was working as a Police reservist. The original Polite Force riot gear was worn by Nathaniel Stern in New York.
