I admire the chutzpah.
I don’t admire the police taking an increasingly hostile “us against them attitude”, and now openly getting in our faces, and wearing the slogans on their clothes.
There is a reason that police are growing more deadly, and that we increasingly fear them.
In the 1990s I could see this troubling attitude growing in my police magazines and catalogs, as the ads were not just about military looking gear and attaining the military “look”, but were selling military type T shirts such as “Don’t run, you’ll only die tired” to police, and other such T shirts that reflected the soldiering that we military do and a mentality that we need, instead of the attitude and mentality that these civilians are supposed to have as they police our neighborhoods.
We don’t need the untouchable, unionized, armed segment of our local governments continuing to increase their strutting and reinforce their own internal arrogance and aggression with these direct displays of power.
