You've obviously never seen NYPD cops who stapled the hems into their pant's legs rather than paying the person at the dry cleaners to hem them. That shouldn't pass inspection What's "inspection"? |

"National Defense Sevice Medal" for every time they pull an illegal alien undocumented immigrant over...
The cops can adopt some of these:

Its about time! When officers proudly display their fruit salads, it will make it much easier for the civilians to spot the go-getters. I personally would like to see LE adopt some kind of branch insignia-perhaps worn on the left collar?, to make IDing the hard-chargers just that much more easy.

I've never understood how NYPD tells 30K officers they have to buy their own stuff. Because the city doesn't want to pay for all that crap. We're talking tens of millions of dollars worth of stuff. And theoretically people take better care of something that they pay for rather than getting for free. Oh, that's absolutely true. It's also true that they tend to be cheapskates about replacing it when it needs to be. Of course, nothing beats the MPD here in DC, whose uniform, first off, is an $8 set of navy blue BDUs. Second off, most officers wear the things so long that they turn grey, I shit you not. I don't know what the sloppiest police department in the country is, but we've got to be in the running. |

My favorite was, you take the "honor plebe" award, which was a solid blue ribbon. Then you take a marksmanship "E" device and cut the bottom leg off to make an "F". Put the two together, voila, you've got the "Blue Falcon Citation." Hold a fake little awards ceremony and see how long plebe douchebag wears it around campus.

wut Workman got a hold of them and said they told him they didn’t have their own awards system, so they went to the Army-Navy store around the corner and picked out Defense Department military ribbons to fit their own format. The WWII was selected, the police department official told Workman, because they knew there weren’t many veterans from that period alive so they didn’t think people would notice.
Do ya'll think this is ok? If I see one of these bozos can I citizen arrest them under the stolen valor act? I'd love to see you try, make sure you put the part where she's kicking your ass on YouTube because I want to laugh at you and tell people that the guy getting his ass beat by a woman there is on ARFCOM. You really care about this enough to make a stink about it? That says more about your personal level of fail far more than it does about the police or the officers who serve. Sounds to me that you're feeling ass pain because that woman makes you feel less masculine as she could probably beat your ass. Before you go ahead and say something else retarded, do you know what she got those ribbons for? Perhaps one of them was for being a SRO, FTO, working the streets for 5, 10, 15 years etc. If she was wearing the ribbons to signify that she had taken part in getting them for the reasons they were given to military members, I'd totally understand your faux outrage. As she is probably wearing them for some service to her community, good for her. Most of you crying sound like a bunch of fucking liberals. |

In my opinion, and according to 10 USC 771-772, no they are not allowed to if thats the case, then my question would be, why were they being sold to the general public in an army navy surplus store?
