You're right. There is a sense of fear missing.

Not too much longer and I'm sure that will change.

stark uniforms send a message to criminals that officers are serious about making arrests.

and send a message to the non criminals that police in the US are the modern gestapo.

Fear will keep them in line. Fear of this battlestation...

Fear is so productive. I"m sure it'll bring out the best in their target audience.

That's the one thing I actually like about facists, they're really snappy dressers. Other than that, they suck balls, but I gotta give props to whoever designs their uniforms.

 
Guy Innagorillasuit [TotalFark] 2008-04-25 03:59:09 PM  
That's wicked uncool.

 
Squirm 2008-04-25 04:01:26 PM  
And black's so slimming! If they wanted to instill fear, why didn't they let the toll collectors on the Pike keep their firearms?

 
dj_bigbird [TotalFark] 2008-04-25 04:01:32 PM  
I want to put in a pic from The Night Porter or Ilsa, but I won't, because the good stuff is NSFW.

Newburyport police wear black uniforms, and they're the nicest townies I've ever dealt with.

Black uniforms?

Yet the scariest uniform in Texas is pressed blue jeans, white dress shirt, and white cowboy hat.

The RI state trooper's uniforms always creep me out.

And since we've already started down this path...

That's a very unkind thing to say about dog shiat.

Aw crap. ImageShack just too a dump on my picture. I am too lazy to resubmit it.

Head-to-toe Hugo Boss, brilliantly pulled off by the SS and Tigger.

You think that'll have an effect on the demeanor of the people wearing the uniform? If people start regarding them and responding to them as thugs, will they then become more thuggish?

That's okay, I'm just impressed that you're able to actually operate a computer, what with your extra chromosomes. Photo hosting is just a little too advanced. Keep at it though!

The city's new police commissioner, William Fitchet, says members of the department's Street Crime Unit will again don black, military-style uniforms as part of his strategy to deal with youth violence.



Fear will keep the local systems in line - fear of this battlestation!

wait...that didn't work out so well, did it?

 
cannotsuggestaname [TotalFark] 2008-04-25 06:25:26 PM  
yay, just what we need. Our populace afraid of the police.


Did these people even think this through?

This is fail on so many levels I can't even figure out where to start.

if this was a red state it would be the best idea evar.
I guarantee Fox would not have taken that slant.

Depends on the neighborhood.

you know what strikes fear into people? when a cop can empty 2 clips into an unarmed man and walk.

They shouldn't make themselves feared.

Sounds like the Seattle Police Department, except add a mustache. Even the meter maids have 'em.

seminole87:

Police officers should not be feared but when you are dealing with attractive and successful African-Americans nothing is out of bounds, it is like dealing with wild animals, they are not fully human.

Does it bother you at all to realize that the world would be a better place if you had never been born?

"The police used to watch over the people, now they're watching the people"

Pretty much just corporate enforcers at this point.

If anything they have made them look like Mounties from Canada, dorks.

I flew into Boston on my way back from England. I got searched by some lesbian with a sweet sweet mullet.

No because I am not a black person. The entire farking world does not want black persons ...

Wow.

Nestea Plunge: Well it worked for the Waffen SS, that's for sure.

But does the MA police have Hugo Boss for a designer? I think not.
