I suppose they could wrap something on the baton to quieten the cracking when it busted skulls. But would that actually make the noise louder?
BTW offer them a piece of gum after. How long has Doublemint been around?

Only if they are going to walk a beat.............
MM How about a deputy in a rural county with a large area to patrol? Would it be cool if he was driving a beat?

I am hard against ANY TYPE OF MILITARIZATION of the PoPo's but I don't care about suppressors either way, as long as they are attached to K-38's & worn by PoPo's wearing nice blue shirts, nice slacks with a stripe up the side & nicely shined low cut, laced shoes.
MM But I like these guys!

I'll accede to the rural boys patrolling in cars.......not SUV's, not anti-tank vehicles, not half-tracks with mounted 50's though.

Last summer I spent most of my time in shorts on a Polaris 4Wheeler. But I also let about a gagillion kids turn on the lights and talk on the PA and let the ladies check out my sculpted calves. Are those OK, as long as I'm still friendly?

Cops who look like SEALS are scary.
So are AR-15's.
Both should be banned, because they're scary, and can hurt someone, right?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Are those OK, as long as I'm still friendly? I don't understand how grown men can allow them selves to be scared solely based on the clothing someone is wearing? And cars= good but SUVs= bad, that's some fugged up logic Experience tells me that an SUv is a much better rural patrol vehicle, based o. Thisng like ground clearance and 4WD capability. The. Again we have an extremely looking evil new explorer unmarked and painted in that utmost frightening color "robins egg blue". Just pure intimidation

Pfftt, we've got a pink Crown Vic for breast cancer awareness. You've gotta have balls to roll through the hood in that thing.

Are those OK, as long as I'm still friendly? The shorts are ok, so long as they are khaki, and not camo. Especially not that Urban Camo, because that stuff is really scary.

Are those OK, as long as I'm still friendly? That's good stuff, & I feel confident in saying you're one of the really good guys............... But, The above special times aside, what do you look like on a regular basis when you are on patrol or walking a beat, if you even do that? From my POV, it's all about perception, & highly militarized PoPo's drive an US vs THEM syndrome. Not saying there isn't a need /can't be, special units, but the non-special LEO's need to change their look, attitude & actions. Obviously, lots of exceptions, here & there. MM

Considering when that picture was taken, that Thompson may have been his personal weapon.
