I'd like to know in what universe they think this is a good idea for cops?

I mean at this point the cliches and stereotypes all come to life and start gang banging each other before giving birth to every possible joke that can from from this stupidity.

I say let them do it. People are too damn sensitive about everything.
It's funny how easily people are offended. Maybe I'm the stupid one, but I don't find myself getting offended by much.

It doesn't bother me, but I agree that it was a stupid thing for them to do.

Oh good god, someone call the waaambulance.

Unprofessional at best, and clueless. Also a waste of taxpayer money.

Probably close to $2500 in graphics on 8 cars.... way to waste taxpayer money and make you look like douchenozzles at the same time..

Maybe they should start running around tackling random people doing normal things like taking keys out of their pockets while yelling 'OFFICER SAFETY!'

I really can't believe how far they pushed the thin blue line bullshit. It's literally meant to divide the 'us' and 'them'... and they had the balls to not only promote it, but do so using the symbol of a homicidal vigilante bent on killing as many people as he can as revenge for his slain family. Sends a real clear message, cross our line, and we'll do everything we can to make you hurt..... What a bunch of fucking idiots..

But hey, 'it looks cool', so why not?

Silly and wasteful. Pretty much the same description as the WA Guv and Seattle Mayor.

Was in our local PD's parking lot the other day. Right in front of my car was one of their "undercover cars" with the mfr's "badge" removed and replaced with a Punisher Logo. Car fits right in with the local criminal element's rides.

For regular patrol cars? Can't see how it does anything positive and just wastes money. If it were up to me all patrol cars would be the standard "Black and Whites. No fancy "wraps" or "artsy fartsy" paint schemes. A Police Car should look like a Police Car -----------from Coast to Coast.

Different agencies use different tactics to ID unmarked cars.... That I don't really have an issue with .... Most of the time it's something obscure, like a certain license plate from a 'dealer' that doesn't exist or is WAY out of place but that no one would notice....others use upside down tab stickers.. an officer notices the upside down tabs, runs the plate, and sees it returns to the agency.. etc etc.



I agree that police cars in general should be marked... and they're required to be by law, except that there's a little part of the law that says the WSP can determine who gets unmarked cars, so of course, EVERYONE has unmarked cars....

There are two roles in police departments. One is preventing crime and the other is catching criminals.

One method of prevention is visibility. More visible police cars on the street, the less likely someone's going to commit a criminal act in public. WSP proved long ago that the mere presence of marked patrol cars kept speeds down and in turn reduced accidents.

As for catching criminals, that's when the unmarked cars come into play. Even to the point of using seized vehicles by their detectives.

When I was growing up cops still walked a beat and seemed to be everywhere. Ditto for traffic cops in cars and motorcycles. Today I can drive for miles and miles without seeing a trooper on the freeway and in Seattle? Can't remember when I saw a cop walking a "beat". They all seem to like driving around in their "escape modules" with the windows rolled up and A/C or heat set just right.

The world has changed, and I still wish for Mayberry.

Fuck Mayberry. I'd be happy if the mental midgets that think they are some sort of badass warrior stopped filling police and DOC uniforms and went back to selling stolen MRE's and WWII German "relics" of dubious authenticity at gun shows.

They wouldn't say something so hurtful back in Mayberry. *whimper*

Living in Kentucky I can attest to Techno's statement. There are days that I drive the freeway here and NEVER see one patrol car in a 3 hour drive. Also living in Kentucky I can attest to some of the dumb-shittery that is the law enforcement community.

Punisher was a terrible choice for all the stated reasons. They should've gone for Judge Dredd...
