When describing policemen with "bristling" mustaches, "gleaming" teeth, and eyes "flashing", does this connote authority or fear?

Authority

idk i think it is authority (because of the aggressive police)

A policemen with "bristling" mustaches, "gleaming" teeth, and eyes "flashing is not a post to clause fear

They connote fear to me.

Man I need help in ELA

two opposing answers, can i get a tiebreaker?

Are you sure about that

This just shows that when you ask a question about how people fear, you are going to get different answers.

i am not sure about if the connotation would describe what feeling it invokes in the characters in the scenario, or the description of the police themselves

Can someone help me in ELA?

it depends on what you need help with

the correct answer was authority. thanks for help from adam and ms sue
