Last week the President called for police to soften up uniforms to improve public relations. In response the Department of Justice is getting ready to field test new uniforms in friendly colors. Various shades of Purple are being tested as it seems to be universally thought of as a color of friendship.

These two dolts in the photo are not cops and should be arrested for impersonating an officer.

"Call the Cops" is a satire site. :)

I binge watched a couple seasons of Adam-12 a while back and had the same thoughts.

However, I do think that most cops do want to protect and serve and act as peace officers.

While there is a need for riot training and gear, it should be used very infrequently.

Our Sheriff Department has two HUMVEE’s that they only use for floods and SAR. That’s the way it should be.

I hear they’re going to remake “Car 54, Where Are You?” with Barney the Dinosour reprising the Fred Gwynne role.

Or maybe “The Andy Griffith Show” with Barney the Dinosaur replacing Barney Fife.

Go to the "Call the Cops" site, click on the "ABOUT US" link, and read what it says. :-D

I looked for satire but didnt see it. Glad to hear it, in this day and time I never know when something very stupid from DoJ is real.
