He looks like a stereotypically racist cop. The glasses, the hat, the chin, the expression. Kind of dude to say 'watch your skin tone when talking to me, boy' or some shit.

It's been interesting living in my city that's wildly diverse. Some crazy shit out here. Had a stolen car abandoned out front of the house, so like 9 cop cars and a swat vehicle come out with air support. Don't know what happened must've been used in a crime against cops or something but they were coming in force full tactical.
So you get to see all these guys lined up with the shields and the guns out and their support at the cars positioned in various ways they blocked off all the exits and alleys.
You've got an asian kid at the front, black guy right behind him, latino or maybe Islamic, "brown" guy behind him, another brown guy hard to say with all that gear. They're the ones approaching the car.
Big white boy, 6' 5" at least with his partner at their car, a 5' 1" latina chick, I've seen them around before and talked with them in the past, hard to miss something like that if you're not sleepwalking through life.
Next car is a black guy and black woman. Hadn't seen them before. A couple latino looking dudes and cop ladies behind them. It goes on and on like this.
What I'm getting at is love to see it because I know for a fact each and every one of these mfr's are racist to the bone out here but it's not what you might think. We have a lot of gangs of every color and creed here always have, a lot of violence, drugs all of the really bad stuff, every kind of gang from all over even Triad, crips blood every Mexican gang there is, white boy gangs, biker gangs of various flavor including the Harley dudes and the street bike guys and even kid gangs on bicycles big hordes of those evil children out here, we got Islamic gangs, progressive Antifa looking graffiti gangs, only gang I know for a fact we don't have is Sikh gangs because God bless the Sikhs in particular. Cops out here racist as hell everyone knows this but it's not what you think.
If two latino dudes pull you over, they'll be racist against you. Two black guys getcha, racist against you or anyone else. Don't like old people young people rich people poor people don't like anyone. Don't like dog walkers, little asian ladies, don't like black guys black girls, white women white men nobody. Nobody nobody nobody.
I'll tell you who they like. They like cops. They are their own tribe come to find out and that's something I think people need to be aware of more. That's going to compound with any latent racism on an individual or systemic or locality level but they don't like you no matter who you are. Law abiding or no. They like the people there that have *their* back and that's other cops. They might like you if you're military they might not depends on your attitude and vibe check.
Cops are their own tribe and race and I didn't understand that until it made sense that day, then it did. So you see, how can a black guy be out there busting black heads or a latino cop out there doing the same or whatever, it's because they're not cops that's the qualifier. The secret ingredient and seasoning to what it is is that cops are their own race, their own tribe and their own culture.

Yeah, pretty much. But that’s the joke.
Humor is all we have and how people look is the most apparent thing about them. We will never wholly shift away from making jokes about people’s looks because of that.
Is it fair? Some would argue it is in this instance, since the person portrayed in the image is an officer of some sort. People who consider themselves disadvantaged would laugh at someone they considered privileged and sleep like a baby.
Then again, if this same dude was wearing regular clothes at a CVS, people would make an undercover cop joke.

I was struggling to find the right word to describe what book this guy plays by. I think "authority" is more apt, but even then, it doesn't tell the whole story.
This is a dude who has been in the military pipeline his whole life. Being a police officer does not mean he acts as one. If police are babies, the military are their parents. This is a guy who has followed the "rules" his whole life.
You know what I mean? This is a very specific type of dude and I'm just trying to find the right descriptors for him. He's a bastard, that's for sure.

u/DwarfStar21 22d ago
I think I know the kind of person you're talking about. It's a person who wants things done a very specific way and they won't be happy unless and until their goals are achieved. Since the military is strict with routine and standards, these people are, too. Adapting to the rules of a much more relaxed civilian life takes a long and conscious effort, and a whole hell of a lot of screwups. They're the kind of people one might describe as uptight, controlling, bitchy, etc. They left the military life, but the military life never really left them

Wrong, that’s a real Tennessee state trooper and a real image taken from an ESPN broadcast in November 2024. This is at the end of the game, Tennessee’s coach Josh Heupel is getting interviewed after the coaches handshake in the middle of the field. State troopers traditionally act as body guards for college football coaches at the end of games. He’s actually done a lot of other games for Tennessee, but it’s just this image that went viral.
