What has happened to our police? [View all]

They all have shaved heads and more often than not have arms and necks with tattoo's. They have the facial features with the scowl of Mussolini. Physically, look like if they ran more than 30 feet they would collapse from lack of oxygen. No wonder they shoot first. They no longer wear standard blue uniforms but wear black or camouflage military BDU's. What happened to the friendly beat cop?
