I read the 1* thing one someone's uniform first as mall-ninja posing, trying to remember the tactical lil cop on TFL/THR that loved it. Second I read it as screw serve and protect, screw your safety, oops, sorry I shot you and your dog, but i'm going home at night no matter if you never see yours again. It is the saddest symbol of police turned to a hostile military that I've seen. Peace officers, yeah, we had those once.
ETA: Mercop was the name, think he changed it somewhere along the line. Whole long spiel on his site about how as a cop he was a mercenary to bring home the bacon for his family. Into training, name-dropping publicity ho, loved to have pics all over his site of his fat butt meeting Ernest Emerson or some other tactical god. Just hope I never travel through his patch of Maryland.
I remember that "mercop" joker. He was real? As in "I am not making this up?" I though the was a bullsinola parody baiting the noobs for yucks. Knock me over with a feather.

competent.

I would refuse to wear anything with that likeness on my person for that reason alone, before even getting into the "one ass to risk" inanity. (Really? Just one? What a loser, I've got a half-dozen in my hall closet.)
