Police Checkpoint Proceedures

[ray1970]

Holy cow the tinfoil is thick in this thread. 2 random pictures with no supporting context and everyone is talking shit about the people who protect you while you sleep. Yes, there are good and bad cops, all are human and make mistakes as we all do. The same people bitching about overweight cops are some of the same people that can't walk half a mile without stopping to catch their breath. Some of you need to spend less time armchair quarterbacking people who protect you and more time being productive.

Rant over for now

In my defense, all I did was call the guy with the rifle a dipshit. But, the guy on the other side of the car does look a little bit like JM Ver 2.0.

Why? It is on Mil uniforms for identification and working with other nations that might have similar uniforms. That same purpose at Sheriff level would ideally be some county identifier but who knows the county flags?

If the purpose is patriotism like the must have flag pin, ok...

Pretty sure that's the only reason it's worn, and the only reason needed for wearing it.

If the deputy with the flag is from a border county, I could see where having a national flag patch makes sense.
