Daily Mail: Chilling new face of police in Britain: New counter terrorism 'robocops' dressed in military fatigues and armed with semi-automatic rifles deployed at Wembley

* Armed to the teeth and sporting military fatigues, the officers are part of a counter-terrorism unit
* Elite Scotland Yard squad arrived in huge armoured vehicles to throw a ring of steel around Wembley Stadium
* The marksmen were also toting their new lightweight, semi-automatic SIG 516 rifle for the friendly match
* They came out of the shadows in the wake of the massacre of 129 people in Paris on Friday
* Heightened terror threat was confirmed when Germany v Holland was called off due to a 'concrete' bomb threat

She is the new face of British policing.

Armed to the teeth and sporting military fatigues and a combat helmet, the officer is part of a counter-terrorism unit unveiled at Wembley last night.

The elite Scotland Yard squad arrived in huge armoured vehicles to throw a ring of steel around the 80,000 fans watching England beat France.

WNU Editor: So much for the old look. The German police force still has some catching up to do.

Fireproof overalls in low visibility grey!?!? Of course dressed like this one could amble across Trafalgar Square without a single person noticing you.
