How great to see a cop who looks so great in his uniform and isn’t dressed as though he were entering Fallujah.
When I see officers in real uniforms, not the military ones, I make a point of complementing them on it and how much more appropriate the message that uniform sends.
I thank any officer or military member or veteran I see...
I remember all too well how we were treated returning from Vietnam....
Cops often dress like soldiers because of the drug war. Criminals have far more firepower than they did in the past.

The last youngster that I delt with had his sleeves rolled and the shirt was about 3 sizes too small (catch my drift?)
After our 30 minute chat (he was also sporting the NEW Police Glasses with the Camera and Microphone (so I’m kinda dating this recollection) I mentioned to him, knowing I was being recorded that I had spent 28 years in Uniform and no matter where I was on the Planet I could find a Uniform that fit.
3 days later he showed back up in a Uniform that fit, 2 weeks after that he was no longer with the PD, folks I talked to said he was a new probation hire and it didn’t work out for him. I hope I steered him in the right direction for the next local he wants to Police.

Do you want officers to take on the MS-13 gang in slacks and sport shirts? It ain’t Norman Rockwell any more my friend.
