Tulsa PD Stops Active Shooter with their M4

[26 Inf]

Like it or not everyone judges you to some extent. Tattoos, purple hair, lots of piercings...you will be judged accordingly. I'm just willing to be honest about how it is perceived.

Now I know a lot of people who have tats, some of them are even serious special forces types, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be captured with a "special forces" tattoo, of course maybe they don't have any intention of being captured alive. Either way it's their right, I respect their right but I don't think it's a very good idea.

And like I said, the cop in the video was a champ. I'd just hate to see someone with that ability not get hired because they look sketchy.

I was told by a Veteran of the Berlin Brigade that back in the day SF guys that got tats were kind of looked down upon because American tats meant 'no over the wall for you' (said in best Seinfeld Soup Nazi voice).

As far as police officers go, if you had sleeves before you got the job, maybe you weren't taking a long view of what you might want to do, if you got sleeves after you got the popo gig, IMO your kind of giving folks an excuse not to think much of you, regardless of whether that is fair or not.

In a decade I'm sure it won't matter.

As I noted earlier, in three decades things are gonna get drunk carny ugly, though.

Tell us more about the battleship on your chest that turned into a submarine, grandpa

(wuv youuu!)

Not a battleship, a nekkid lady that did the hula when I rippled my pecs. Now she looks like a jogging leprechaun when I jump up and down.

I was cruising down memory lane today and laughing at pics of 80's metal bands with my 19 y.o. daughter.. surprisingly not a single member of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, or Pantera had a single tattoo (that show) into the late 80's. I see tats as a fad, and they're just as likely to fade from popularity as they are to increase.

Akchually, Motley Crue was fairly inked by '89...

Anyways I agree with the fad part. Once something becomes normal; people will find a new way to rebel.

We are seeing the genesis of it today but times be coming when the most punk rock and edgelord thing you can do is be white, Christian, gainfully employed, regular parishoner with 2 kids and only punched the V card to the loyal wife.

Dead Serious. When Everyone is a weirdo, a hippie, or degenerate then the only real rebellion is buckling down and flying right.

Interracial lesbian couple with matching Kia Souls and adopted Tongolese orphan babies?
yaaaawn. What are they accountants?

Guy who does the WASP thing like Ozzie and Harriet?

When Janine Lindenmuller got a full arm sleeve of tats, that's the day ink broke my heart. Easily one of the most stunning women on the planet and it looked like shit. Today she is an inked up disaster.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you never served in the military and yet you question military tattoos?

Biker trash?

Wow.

I never served.

I question a NSW get getting something like a trident tattoo. BUT...not because he hasn't earned the right or the freedom to do so, I simply actually worry about what would happen to him if he falls into enemy hands. Simple blood group tattoos did wonders for ferreting out members of the SS after WWII.

And yeah, a whole sleeve is the sort of thing I usually associate with biker trash. Doesn't mean everyone with a sleeve is biker trash, but honestly if you see a neck tattoo or a spider web tattoo do you typically assume positive things from the outset?

But more importantly, initial assessments can be modified. If the person turns out to be a decent guy who is a fashion victim then they still go into decent guy status. Like I said I know some serious people covered in ink, they are my friends. I think their ink looks like shit but it's their arms and probably they did it at a time when they probably thought they were all gonna be dead anyway so F it.

I understand that, but I still think it's a bad idea. Just like it's a bad idea to walk around looking like a LA banger because rappers dress like that and you think it's cool.

But perhaps more importantly, end of the day, who cares what I think.

So did the Perp live? What was the backstory?

Right! I remember this thread was once about a bad ass Tulsa cop and it somehow turned into a tat discussion.

I believe the perp died, but maybe someone can confirm.

BTW, my hats off to that cop. Outstanding work and I could care less about his tats.

Please stick to the original topic. Enough talk about tats or other things not associated. We're close to being done with the thread otherwise.
