I'm not saying the shouldn't wear helmets but for christ's sake look at them. The boys in blue have become the storm troopers in black.

And in the case of a knucklehead, (or provocateur), the police have surveillance equipment that enables them to pick one person out of a crowd of thousands by his/her nose hair whorls.

The whole mentality of serve and protect, has morphed to what's written on the helmet in the original post... two examples of that attitude:

1 ~ Remember the retired Philly cop that protested in NY while wearing his uniform? Well the FOP in Philly is trying to kick him out and take away his FOP benefits.

2 ~ A Denver cop convicted of driving 143mph on a 2 lane, no shoulder, 55mph road, at night, with a passenger, while drunk, gets 5 days in jail... and his job back.
