    How hard is this: if you are a police office, do not wear any non-official patches or markings on your uniform.

    You don’t work at fucking Chotchki’s, you don’t need 37 pieces of flare, and your job is to support the populace by reasonably enforce the existing laws, and not being the arbiter of right and wrong.

    This and making political statements in uniform or using official police resources to make endorsements should result in a swift firing.

    No thin blue line, no dumbass punisher emblem, only your police force and name badge (with white text, none of that “black text black background” shit).

      If only that was their job.

      Have you ever seen a job posting for your own position and gone “well, that’s not even close to what I do” because it only lists the “good” stuff that basically never comes up? This is the police’s equivalent of that.
