He protrays a wannabe swat guy.  So wearing equipment improperly (or out of the norm) emits a "low speed" quality.

I've seen more than a few real cops do that
slightly different style of carrier than this one but it's still over their uniform

Some departments allow the wearing of external vests, but usually it's in a color coordinated vest carrier. It's a joke, and damn fine one at that.

Dangle is gay.  The only time he was turned on by a "chick" was when the homeland security people were training them.  He told the asian agent that he was strangely attracted to her in her outfit. He said that usually he would only think about how nice the outfit would look on him! Turns out in the next episode that "she" was a "he".  All of Dangles guys were trying to get in "her" pants too

I remember some interview with that actor, he said that the shorts were actually so tight that they hurt after awhile, LOL

Actually there was an episode where Dangle's estranged wife shows up and wants a divorce, has all the papers etc....she found another guy who owns a flower shop or something.

She gets up to go to the bathroom and Dangle and her new guy are flirting.

This show really cracks me up and I wasn't too crazy about it the first time I saw it (some episodes are hit-or-miss)

Thats right, forgot about the X.  That episode where he asks Jones to help him move is funny. Jones thinks everybody will be showing up to help but nobody else was invited.  Turns out that he's only moving 2 trailers down.  Damn that was a funny one!

Wow... you figured that out on your own.


Hell, the first thing that the guy playing Dangle ever said was, "Sure, sometimes me c**k pops out of it, but I'm proud to wear this uniform."

Because he's a stupid redneck.

I loved the episode where Dangle is shooting at his RV and Junior comes out and says "what ya doing, shootin' trailers?"

The cops in Tijuana wear it that way too.

Jr is my favorite character. the scene during the board of inquiry was great. they made him take off his sunglasses and he couldnt see shit "I'm the best shot on the department."

I dont usually workm uniformed patrol, but i got ordered to work on the 4th of july.  Had to cut my hair and shave, so in protest I cut my hair and trimmed my mustache just like Jr, and wore a pair of black aviator sunglasses just like his. My Sgt's and the Chief didnt get the joke. Some of the youngers guys couldnt stop laughing all night.  I thought about doing the same for the departments annual photo, but decided against it.  if i get killed this year i dont want the obuituary photo to be my Jr impersonation.

When I saw that he was cross-eyed and he mentioned that he was the best shot, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.  Love that show.  Hope it gets renewed for next season.
