When police in Bavaria, Germany, unveiled their new protective gear last week, some thought the helmets looked like the one worn by Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" films.

The new gear includes ceramic composite plates and a titanium helmet, which can supposedly withstand being shot by an assault rifle, RT.com reports.
But it can't protect them from ridicule. Already, images of the uniform are being used as fodder for a classic reddit Photoshop battle.
And "Spaceballs" is just the beginning of the jokes:
