They should make cops wear clip-on ties and stupid hats again. Letting a generation of failed high school athletes play dress-up as delta force operators to direct traffic for $160K a year isn't the whole problem, but it feels like a part of the problem.
I'm also always saying this. The British little checkerboard shit and reflective vest at least should help because the people that REALLY want to help and be cops will have to put up without being tacticool. Would weed out a lot of that.
For years i've been advocating that all police uniforms are required to be neon pink Every gun too.
how do you deal with the girlboss types for whom that would be a dream-come-true perk then
Through the knowledge that they are a vanishingly small percentage of the population as opposed to mouthbreathing feral hogs with tiny cocks and an overinflated opinion of their own entitlement to authority over others.
I'm from Britain and I second this. We need to make all the police officers wear the old helmets that look like a big tit with a shiny nipple.
so much of it is just a bunch of bored guys wanting to play with the cool toys in the weapon locker. Like that's it! "Ooooo there's a protest!? We can break out the riot gear finally!"
@abeardedpanda.bsky.social has a thing on this www.offensive-bias.com/p/cool-boys-...
Yes, they should dress like department store assistant managers.
Cops complain they’re never respected but my partner walks around the city in his dorky little Canada Post hat and yellow vest and all the neighbours say hello, give him bottles of water and snacks. I think there’s a lesson for the police, should they choose to understand it.
I would put them on foot patrol with just a radio until they made the rank of sargent.
Only getting recognition if they get injured or killed in the line of duty. Only flaw: might lead to lots of blue on blue violence to rack up the injuries.
And white short snap gloves.
Plastic pocket protector too I think
Make them dress like the Spanish Army. Would def be more fabulous.
I don't think this look would translate to the median body of the Harris county constable
Exactly.
Macho shitheads.
Man, you really nailed the archetype right there 🎯
