"Reggie and I approve!"

Earlier this week, President Barack Obama banned the sale of certain military-style equipment to police departments. Brian Kilmeade reported tonight on "The Kelly File" that Obama also thinks that police officers should have "softer looking" uniforms.
Kilmeade explained that Obama thinks that police officers are "making things worse" when they show up to inner city communities wearing military-style equipment and riot gear. "They're concerned about the helmet. They're concerned about the shield. It's sending the wrong message," Kilmeade stated. "I used to think from the civilian point of view that that would be a reason not to riot, because the police were ready and ready to act."
Obama commissioned a review of the equipment programs last year after protests in Ferguson, Mo., over the shooting death of an 18-year-old black man by a police officer. Kilmeade told Megyn Kelly that this is "unbelievable" and that if he were a police officer, he wouldn't show up to the next riot.

Is that obammy’s girl friend?
And the Waco motorcycle gangs all need a makeover too.
Exactly. If your neighborhoods only issue is a few minor noise complaints or the occasional breakin the police will respond in a normal uniform, however if you neighborhood is know for shootings, riots, etc. expect a different response.
Yeah. Forcing them to get rid of things like their bullet-proof vests makes it easier for the local ‘thugs’ to see the targets the Leftists have painted on them.
The Obama Admin and DOJ have created a incendiary environment for police, even in small cities. A certain segment of the ‘thug’ culture think they have carte blanche to attack cops now. That is part of the legacy of Obama and Holder.
Maybe terrycloth?
Combined PING! and DANG!
Next he’ll send our local police to his Chicago bathhouse to “soften them up” inside (without) their uniforms. When he’s not requiring them to attend “trans-cultural” Islam lessons at the mosque
Wasn’t there a Portlandia episode like this?
Something in a Velour? perhaps with a Tidy Little Bow?? Taffeta Ruffles on the cap??
Just give them a pink swastika just like you’ve always dreamed, Zero.

ROFL
OMG ROFL ROFL Now that would be something Obmama would approve.
lol
Never seen Portlandia before but loved the beginning. Pretty much steampunk but without the goggles.
Yeah, steampunk cops... that could work!
Google steampunk images. You’ll see what I mean.
Would it not be better if these thugs looked softer? I remember when I used to belong to some cd club where you bought a cd every month. One month the catalog had a picture of the group Blues Travelers right next to some rap group. The contrast was incredible. The Blues Travelers looked so happy and friendly and the rap group looked like a group of thugs about to kill you.
No, I like those old uniforms. They’re very traditional. Some have no changed in decades.
