What cop t-shirts tell us about police culture.

Does anyone own "ihatecops.com"?

Could sell anti-police tshirts, Ice T cds, and no hesitation targets.

Close;

These punks think they are warfighters. They are just amateur animal abusers with badges. They don't rate to pretend to think they are like me.

That ^ anybody who gets to sleep in his own bed at night and get a shower once a month whether you need it or not, has no clue about what real warriors can do.

And I'm gonna call criminal lunatics like this for "help"?

Yah, right, not on your fucking life pal.

I'll take my chances with the mugger rapers and father stabbers first.

Hmmm...armed men in NYC?

Not likely.

Like most men who have seen armed conflict up close and personal, they don't often brag about it.

And if the hunted started shooting back?

What then...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tod evans again.

I thought the only reason to have the rep I do is to give as much rep as I want.

People always say a "gray state" scenario couldn't happen here. This thread should say otherwise. Many might defy orders, but everyone has a price. And for some the price isn't that high so long as they can get their jollies off of killing a fellow human.

Completely disgusting t-shirts. That Hemingway quote is creepy as hell.

I worry that they don't realize that Hemingway was a fictional novelist. It is interesting that this favored quote precedes the following (On the Blue Water, Esquire's First Sports Reader (1936), pp. 62-64):

The other night I was talking with a good friend to whom all hunting is dull except elephant hunting. To him there is no sport in anything unless there is great danger and, if the danger is not enough, he will increase it for his own satisfaction. A hunting companion of his had told me how this friend was not satisfied with the risks of ordinary elephant hunting but would, if possible, have the elephants driven, or turned, so he could take them head-on, so it was a choice of killing them with the difficult frontal shot as they came, trumpeting, with their ears spread, or having them run over him. This is to elephant hunting what the German cult of suicide climbing is to ordinary mountaineering, and I suppose it is, in a way, an attempt to approximate the old hunting of the armed man who is hunting you.

This friend was speaking of elephant hunting and urging me to hunt elephant, as he said that once you took it up no other hunting would mean anything to you.

Perhaps they should instead idolize the following Hemingway quotes:

Courage is grace under pressure.

Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.

You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.

No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one.

What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

Never mistake motion for action.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
