You know what would help these out-of-control cops win back good public opinion?

Start looking like police officers instead of Hollywood caricatures of soldiers from bad movies.

Lots of cops with delusions of Seal Team Six grandeur lift weights to look as menacing as possible, and they’re obviously getting help from steroids.

Police departments need to institute regular drug testing, the same kind of tests that are administered to professional athletes. Any cop who uses steroids should be fired.

Steroids engender a hair trigger temper in an otherwise normal person, who in this case carries a gun. (It’s science, not cop-hate. You know what else is science? Total number of dogs shot so far this year by itchy trigger-finger ‘roid ragers. And babies blown up by flash grenades.)

Also, cops shouldn’t be allowed to shave their heads. A chrome dome is an escalator because it’s aggressive and threatening. And it’s intended to be.

Why should citizens have to deal with a ‘roided out chrome dome whose mien and appearance are expressly designed to cow and threaten at a at a traffic stop? You work for us, ‘roid ragers, and you should look like us.

Americans love their soldiers. They just don’t like cops playing soldier games with the American people, as if the American people were the enemy.

Act like cops, not soldiers making war on our own citizens, and you might regain some of the respect you’ve lost in recent years.

A couple years ago, male police officers in one NJ town petitioned to wear earrings on the job, to make them look more intimidating.

Earrings. On male police officers. To make them look more intimidating.

I can’t even wrap my mind around that.
