I don't know about you but I don't think he read the comic

Maybe there is a hidden meaning behind it and it isn't just him representing the Punish in the comics. Who knows at this point

Of course he didn't read the comic. If he did he would know that the Punisher is not really friends with the cops. He kills corrupt cops. Cops hunt him in many of his stories. He's not on the same side as cops

I had a Punisher logo on my kevlar back when I drove a M88 recovery tank.I dont think cops should have it though no matter their intention.

I've known a few different people who have had the shit kicked out of them by Toronto cops for no other reason than being a punk or being homeless.

Its always mind-boggling to me when guys put this kind of shit on their vests. Your uniform makes a statement, and it isnt supposed to espouse your personal beliefs.

Its called a uniform for a reason. Stop personalizing it.

Frustrations with the court system, most likely. Watching people get light sentences for rock-solid cases, etc., can lead to disillusionment with the process.

I think the Punisher is the wrong way to look for inspiration, but I would imagine that would be the reason.

Last time I checked he didn't like cops either.

And by "Didn't like" I mean with crooked/dirty cops (like those dickheads left and right abusing their power), he'd have killed them like the pigs they are.

IIRC, The Punisher in the comics has specifically told cops that use his logo to fuck off.

That, and a lot of cops idolize being able to wantonly brutalize those they deal with.

Its lame as fuck. But some of you are looking to deep into it. Its just shit cops and military people wear because they think its cool or badass. Its not some hidden cult symbol. Some nerd cop thinks it looks bad ass on his load bearing vest

Because again, Ive actually lived through all this stuff. You guys are having meltdowns and watching some crybaby on twitter because he believes having a punisher logo makes him a Nazi hating blm abusing cop.

in reality, he probably bought the patch because he thought it was cool. Or like me I have 80 of those patches that are given to me free from gun stores and shit lol

I'd be concerned about someone that proudly chooses to wear that given the role and power the police have though (less so military). You say it's to "look badass", but is that why someone should be s policeman?

so dumb man. Like concerned? Concerned about what? I see the patch and I just blink and look away. Having a stupid dollar patch means nothing. If youre like concerned or triggered over nothing. My god

Concerned they entered the profession with unhealthy aspirations (or developed them). There's mountains of evidence that position's of authority tend to warp views about "being powerful"/"unquestionable" (Standford prison guard experiments for one).
Would you be okay/blink away if somebody had a dollar KKK patch?

Yeah, remember all those Punisher comics where he beat up and killed innocent people, supported neo-nazis and white supremacists, and made press conferences and cried like a baby when people called him out on his shit?

And can you guys not take the bait for once?

The patch is dorky but I don't really care. Should police have dress codes that don't allow stuff like that? Probably but it's not a big deal. Not sure why people are being so melodramatic about it. Actually, I take that back, I do know why: Because those people hate cops and think they are all go to work every day hoping to kill a black man. Even if they are cops in other countries.

Nobody,I didnt deploy.I was in a recovery mechanic team in field artillery,so we had the biggest and best vehicles.It was motivational since driving the Army's biggest tank was badass on its own.

I still dont think police officers should have that kind of stuff on,especially during times like this.But they did the right thing and told him to remove it.Who knows what the persons intentions were,it doesn't matter.To me it red flags that a civilian peace officer wants to play CoD irl.

A) So you'd be okay with it?
B) Didn't you compare the police with the military earlier? Is the police goal to dominate enemy territory?
C) Are you disputing anything I said about people joining for the wrong reasons or getting warped by positions of authority?
D) You mention Batman below - do you a lot of police have his tags? If not, maybe there's a reason they chose one that intentionally go to extremes?
