Police to use purple uniforms to “soften image” [satire]
Call the Cops ^ | May 23, 2015 | RJ

Posted on 05/25/2015 10:01:00 AM PDT by EveningStar

Will the SWAT ninja outfits also be ‘friendly purple’ as they break down doors, toss flash-bangs into cribs, and shoot dogs?

Some places are opting to put them in U.S. Postal style mail trucks and make them wear utility worker glow painted vests at all times.

What did they design this patch to SORTA resemble?

Ridiculous, isn't it?

What do they WANT to look like, but aren't willing to do all that exercise for?

Do these men have something unfulfilled in their lives?

Purple is the color of the Roman Senate. “To serve and protect” has about as much meaning as SPQR, because the “people” are nothing to those in power except a source of labor.

From “The Simpsons’ Movie”.....

EPA Soldier: I’m afraid we lost them, sir.
Cargill: Damn it! Well, then you find ‘em, and you get ‘em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here’s how I want them arranged: tough, soft, tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft, tough, soft!
[pause]
Soldier: Sir, I’m afraid you’ve gone mad with power.
Cargill: Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring, no one listens to you.

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

Being a cop in the future just won't seem as exciting and attractive to some as it once was.

Get rid of the stupid BLACK uniforms with “ghosted” insignia.

Blues for city and state police, tans for sheriffs, and greens for game wardens.

SWAT uniforms recycled into rag pulp for paper-making mills.

There are no coincidences in a focus-group led government. But, you already know that.
