It always fascinates me that people want to pretend to be LEOs.
Not only is it childish, but it’s dangerous as hell. How the **** can you dress like this and be taken seriously?
As a side note, this is the second time this has happened in FL this month. That guy “pulled up in a Ford Crown Victoria, activated a set of emergency lights, got out of the car and offered to help deputies [at a traffic stop].”…and then was arrested haha. Seems DWSL is common among LE wannabes as they both were guilty of it.
Maybe he watched “Let’s Be Cops” one too many times…
There was a guy in Fort Collins CO years ago who did this- had the car and the uniform; all looked legit. He would go around stopping 20-something young ladies for speeding and rape them.
People are whackos!!!
Hopefully his guy was just playing out a fantasy and not using the false authority for evil.
It vexes me why people would want to pretend to be one of the most hated, frowned upon, depressing, literally godless jobs out there.
Oh like it is a bunch of fat Irish cops drinking in uniform at a cop bar singing chumbawamba songs? Nay. T’is truly not. It won’t get you girls and you can carry guns on yourvown time.
The pay sucks, the people suck, the system sucks, and whenever wacky hijinks ensue, you aren’t invited for fears of “narcing” .
If you get injured nobody cares and it won’t even get you out of a minor ticket because petty Blue Falconry is at an ALL TIME HIGH.
If you want to impress women, dress nice, lose weight, rent a condo or a REALLY nice hotel and tell them you are an investment banker traveling on business.
Because for every moderately interesting thing you get to do you pay dearly for it with paperwork and again the extreme Blue Falconry.
You wake up everyday bitter lamenting how you aren’t paid enough, how you pissed away your best years and all that college, how you may have saved a few lives but squandered your own. How…in a morbid way…you kinda side with ED 209 now instead of Robocop.
It’s like American Beauty but no 90s Mena Suvari.
I missed that detail. His parents must have issues too. Why aren’t they telling little Jimmy that he’s too old to play “dress up” & it’s not Halloween yet.
I’m willing to bet this dumbass has tried to be a police officer and either failed the academy or washed out somewhere in the hiring process, probably more than once too. (My money is on his psych eval.)
True. But they are approved because some FBI a-holes in the 90s thought they were “professional” and then everyone else made them defacto Po Po pants. They don’t breathe, the pockets are dumb, the butt cheek strap makes me feel like a power tool, and you can’t wear them out and about. I am on the same three or four over a decade simply because I only wear them when I have to. Unlike BDUs, they don’t get silky after repeated washings, you can’t really iron them. They just totally suck.
The tan 24/7 Tru Spec pants however are awesome. After washing they feel good. Almost sorta like those old surplus jungle ODs you could buy as a punk kid for like 5 dollars back in the day.
Plus they are cheaper. Seriously, 60 dollars for 5.11s trousers that suck, they can sit and spin.
