My first thought as well. If I weren’t headed out the door, I would have found a pic and posted it.

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power the government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

Citizens who “fear” police is a very “bad” thing. What kind of idiot wants to achieve the goal of “fear”? What you will get is “fight or flight”, neither of which produces as much results as “trust and respect”. It gives you a 50/50 chance that it’ll be the cops getting hurt in the end.
