Dont they have clips for quickly getting them on/off?

They do, but it's cops so it might take them a minute lol. Other than speed taking off the nvgs also fucks with the balance of the helmet. The other stuff on the back acts as a counterweight. Still removable but still I bet they just wanted to grab and go

This. They'd have to pop off the counterweight too, especially if these are bump helmets not ballistic, which tbh 50/50 could be either.

But why only two have ears? I'd rather have ears than nods, honestly! Weird choice.

(It's possible there's just not enough pixels to see the last guy's ears lmao)

Looks older, likely a SGT who just wants to dress up too but his mic is up above his ear.

Oh I see it there, thought that was part of the plane or something lol

Mic pointed up in case Jesus whispers down on comms or something I dunno. Watching these bumblefucks walk around in tactical gear they’ve clearly never worn except in front of a mirror is just embarrassing.
