Taxi! Taxi!
Evidently, the Department has chosen the new sticker layout:
We guess that's the least hideous of the bunch. Anyone have the full layout?

It's all scientific, like crazy-pattern paint jobs
on ships in WWII, to confuse the enemy.
It will give drunks vertigo and gang members
won't be able to shoot straight.
It suits the department well. It's an embarrassment
Reminds me of the PSAs on channel 5. The more you know. Or in this case the more you Blow.
Is this car fully equipped with a steering wheel that has been picked away by some fidgety officer, rotten food under the passenger seat, and a cup holder utilized as a cigar ash tray? What about a gummy foreign substance in pdt mount jacks?
"Let's.
Change.
Something.
To make it look like.
We're actually doing...
Something."
The equivalent of spritzing
"Red Dress" perfume at and putting
lipstick on a pig.
Look.
Laugh.
Leave.
That looks like a campus police vehicle.
I love the LAPD Police Cars...
A Mot. Main. guy told me about ten years ago that the Dept. spends about 250 bucks per car on decals and that the all white paint jobs are billed as ‘custom’ which pads the cost of the Police Package.
Gross
I really hope that's NOT the new look. It looks HIDEOUS!!!!!
Why is there still a bullheaded insistence
on Police Cars being painted in a "high
visibility" color scheme?
Since The Police are hated and reviled by
everybody and the mere presence of Police
sets people off, why not go to a matte
Taupe Gray color for reduced visibility?
Slick-tops with low visibility emergency lighting.
As it is, these aren't necessarily the
best of times for Policemen to be all
that noticeable.
Because after all, it's The Police who are the problem.
Right?
Looks like crap... Should of went with French blue color with white doors like LA’s cars but have the CPD star on the door.
wow, we will look like we are working security and patrolling the lots at Menards.
OT: Heard that a P.O. filed a lawsuit regarding being ordered to wear the body cam and taser. Gist of it is:
-the fact that u have to wear an electronic device right over your main organs for 9 hours a day 5 days a week could cause some damage and there isn’t enough research to say that it doesn’t at this point.
-the extra weight of the taser and cam along with all the other equipment is making their back is hurt.
-with other new equipment like the asp, officers were grandfathered in and have a choice to choose to use the new equipment and should have the choice to choose not to wear the camera.
-it should’ve been bargained for in our contract and not imposed on us without any input from members.
Those were the main points but I think there were a few more.
How many years will it take to rotate the old fleet/design out? I driven 10-15year old pool cars. Think there are still some 2004 crown Vic’s in the fleet.
Who picked this particular design, the ghost of Jerry Feldman, the former President of Checker Taxi?
After all, we know that the dead still vote in Chicago.
Ugly checkerboard design coupled with a very ‘dated ‘ Chicago Police star.
Truth be told, it was probably Herbie Pulgar, renown Chicago artist and car thief.
That looks absolutely ridiculous.
At least the shouts from the people (and folks) will change from “F*ck da Police” to...
‘ TAXI !!! ‘
Almost looks like a Baltimore PD squad.
This guy has destroyed the dept. in less than 8 years in office.. The image is to plant the seed that soon this dept will be as nutless as London.
That's a disgrace. Looks like something a kid with photoshop would make.
There's a warehouse in Elmhurst where it appears that new CPD squads are striped for the street. The parking lot is filled with about 100 new cars, all in the current theme. I haven't seen any in the design from the photo.
It's just like the "muscle "cars of the mid '70's....the less horse power, the bigger the graphics.
OR
If you gotta say it.....you ain't.
I remember when I was growing up and the forest park police cars simply had printed on the door "police ",and they were.
Fancy lights and markings don't make you effective.
We are going down the wrong road at high speed.
There's a private security company that has cars that look exactly like that. There's some parked next to barracos on 111th.
This is beyond hideous looking.
that is the least threatening design for liberals/millennials/snowflakes- this department is a joke. We are known for the color scheme on our vehicles as well as are leather jackets(which, based on hire date are no longer allowed), lets just erase everything in history because we do not agree with it.
Looks completely stupid.
Looks like a Las Vegas PD squad with the real CPD (not sissy CAPS) star on the quarter panel. Anyone notice how few checker taxis are on the street compared to a decade ago? Besides, yuppies only use lyft or uber.
Did you hear the new air horn? Sounds like a dying duck on the pond. Let the criminals take the lead, Rahm. It’s blood on YOUR hands.
Ehhhhh....not liking it.
If that's true then this is the ugliest police design I have ever seen.
vanecko graphics? they rock!
Here’s my conspiracy theory........ they changed it because the thin blue line was deemed “ a racist symbol” by the media
The only thing this new design has going for it is that the idiotic CAPS logo has been deleted
Not very subtle . Quite frankly i think it looks terrible.
That car is so ugly, it counts as a@?l when it gives you h*&d.
It’s crooked.
Just like the whole damn circus.
Really....I mean REALLY?????>>>>>Who the Phuq signs off on these things....It's PHUGLLY....PERIOD.....
Don't forget the "Fetals on Board" decals...
It actually looks ok to me. Would’ve been better if the checkerboard was horizontal. At least that stupid 1993 CAPS star is gone.
One hundred percent gauche.
I heard COPA"s number is on the trunk 🖕🏼
As for the the star, it's nice to see old is new again. However, it should be in the front of the car where it will be seen. People look at the front of a car and the eyes travel back to the rear of the car. Having the large star to the rear would actually detract from the emergency equipment. If the star was in the front, people would see the star and then the eyes would travel to the lights.
That one distraction can cause a accident. Looks like no professionals were consulted. Nice try.
Did this design pass the approval of the "folks" most likely to be using ghetto ride share??
Looks like a taxi. Lewin’s gotta lay off the weed.
Make the sticker horizontal and not on an angle. Fix that gig line!!!
That looks like a suburban vehicle. Shitcan that design.
This is sarcasm and silliness right SCC?
At least it doesn’t have that hideous CAPS logo.
What's a taxi??
Instead of “We Serve and Protect” it needs to say “We Cater and Pander To”
And I just puked.... please keep it the way it is
Kill it. Kill it with fire
Looks too British. Looks too contemporary. Bottom line Chicago Police Department is becoming watered down and following every other trend, what everyone else is doing. The entire police department leadership are sheeple just following everybody else.
Great another way to WASTE money on things that don’t: quell the rise in crime, help raise the clearance rates, stop the black/black killings, or help us do our job combating the aforementioned. And, I bet the decals are from a clouted political jackass that will look like complete crap after a few runs thru the clouted and connected car washes. Oh well, I’m sure that it’s a great recuitment tool for the lowered standard diversity clowns we are hiring. I hope they have enough power plugs for all the IPhones and Iwatches these spoiled brats all run around with. I miss my box Chevy with the flipped over air cleaner, howling thru the jets at night!
Move the star to the front door and serve and protect to the rear door.
Stupid
Real artist at work.
What can you say?
That is just a made up car by someone. Not the new look. Putting all those graffics on a car cost to much. And too much to replace after body work.
Didn't they get the memo about the new design of our stars? Or did they say.. ewww,,, this star is to ugly to put on this beautiful new design
I totally agree We should also be compensated if we're going to wear his body cameras. I didn't sign up for this. Let's put body cameras on all city workers and see how they feel. I'm not city property if you want to put them in cars that's fine. I should have a choice and be compensated for it as well. Thise using the magnet holder, who knows what that does to your body.

Screw new designs, just make sure that "never look you in the eyes Jonathan Lewin puts working Let's in the cars.and what about the No old Command Vans, do their computers work. Nothing seems to work good any.kre. ima detective and on that truck but it sucks since that Greek Sergeant left. They should bring him back to consult. He knew his stuff.
Looks as bad as many other departments cars. Who designs and approves these graphics? I have not seen one I would approve if I was a chief or city manager.
Whatever happened to a simple police theme? These are police vehicles supposedly representing professionalism and service. Not art work of some computer graphic designer.
Maybe a color stripe and the word police with the city name. On a white vehicle. I must be getting old.......
taxi is right!
LOL. Either I'm gettin' really old, or none of Special Ed's Brass Hat merit hacks -- or anyone in Rahm's Admin -- has ever heard of Checker Taxi.
Then again, since you guys and gals pretty much aren't allowed to arrest anyone any more, using Squad Cars as Taxis to give people (and folk) rides for cash, would be an ingenious way to close Department Budget Shortfalls. (rotfl)
And if a call came in while someone's in the back seat you could charge them an extra $20--$50 Dollar Entertainment Fee depending on the type of call :-)
NASCAR crowd may actually like it.
Also has a decal on the rear bumper. “Driver has no cash”
OT but hey SCC did you see this?

Cue the protests!!!
I am sure bt 3730 (GR) already has his own personal squad car outfitted with the new design. Heck he probably designed it himself like he tries to design everything else on this dept.
OT: Just heard Dean the dream Angelo quit the Italian-American Police Association after they presented Kevin Graham with an award at this years banquet.
Hey Dean, go get your shine box and meet Kevin at the hall!
Who cares. We don't have to look at the fucking thing. We just have to get cozy and FETAL inside. You people love to bitch about everything. Just embrace the liberal madness, grab your popcorn, and watch their entire world burn down.
Seems appropriate for giving rides to pizza parties!
Hahahahahah! Does your appearance command respect? This vehicle screams mall cop. This department is a joke and I’m so grateful for it because where else can you watch your phone all tour, bring in zeros and get all the VRI you can handle? Being a DOG is the best thing ever!

Back then, everything was padded. Everything had a kick-back. The current contract call for a "standard" all white car, which does not cost extra. The cost is just about what the rest of the state pays, I think the union was looking into the costs and that kept them fairly honest. There is no extra charge.
Ford does charge extra for 2 tone or custom colors. By the way, many of the 2 tine squad cars out there in the burbs are actually decals. The cars are "wrapped" which saved a boatload of money for them.
As usual, the department did not ask anyone with experience in this matter to help them.
You guys didn't get the memo? This is the new pension funding and pay up plan! There's a meter so when the car is not on a job they can take fares! Problem is, they will find something else to fund with the money and no help to the pension.
That's a disgrace. Looks like something a kid with photoshop would make.

Why not?
The current shoulder patch on our sleeves was designed in 1979 when some drunken deputy took an octagon shaped ashtray and sketched it out.
Who really cares how it looks we should be more concerned about our next contract than this crap about cars!!!
The CPD just got CHECKED by IPRA.
Sliced and diced with a ginsu.
Horrible choice to dis yall in every vehicle ya drive.
Total spite.
As a Illinois Citizen, I am so sorry Democrats are so bold as to do this to you.
I will just point once again to your useless union representation who has for decades supported the very crowd now doing this to you guys and gals.
Might just be time to do something about that, eh?
If Ex-President had a vehicle would it look like this? If Ex-President had a job would it look like a patrol/leo DICK?
I like the return of the original star.
Knowing the inclusive mentality at city hall I thought it would have included a World City EU Global hi-viz chartreuse colour pattern.
So what happened to the CAPS regalia and a diversity rainbow?
One new thing for sure it makes the vehicle appear to be taking a nose dive, like Rahm & Special Ed's popularity and the direction of The Department.
Let's do our very best to keep those back seat compartments empty, clean and free of all forms of parasites.
Use and wearing of Body cams for LE in Illinois is state mandated.
I like it, it has a dynamin look about it; and I used to drive the old blue and white Dodge Monacos with gumball machine lights.
However, it looks like it would be difficult and expensive to repair body damage.
A squad car should be simple and Black and White like L.A. and command respect, these are fruity.
WTF!! ... That is so hideous!
When you open the door does it smell like jimmy s hotdogs? That s a real police car.
Well, at least you can't see it when you're sitting in it.
J.J.
You could get a part time job delivering pizza in that thing.
J.J.
Why does it matter. It’s a waste of money we don’t have. If it looks like a taxi then the drunk is will just get in by themselves. You won’t have to put your hands on anybody. That what they want anyway.
Awful. Looks like it runs on soy
Looks like Rahmacide copied design from his muslim buddy.... London mayor khan
How much will this cost? What is the justification to spend this money?
Unless the slanted checker board pattern has been proven to throw off the aim of a shooter then this is all a waste of money.

I’ll believe there was a lawsuit filed when I see it. No way
I like the design, kudos to whoever came up with it. To the rest of you on here whining like kindergartners, the department offered for anyone to submit their design proposal so unless you did, you've got nothing to say about the design chosen.
I'm just glad to have mostly decent cars again. We were basically all driving pool cars a few years back. No ac, no heat. Chunks of metal and parts just falling off as we drove down the road. The decals don't make or break the officers. Sucking exhaust fumes all night in the passenger compartment might though.
hahahaha so ugly. What a joke this place is. Does anyone actually still enjoy this job?
Looks like shit.
Embarrassing.
But the new design looks great on the side of a camel
Very Blade Runner.

Off topic but of concern to some retired cop out there.
The Aetna material which is sent out is NOT FOP plan specific, so if you are confused by any of this, basically, disregard the confusing portions.
Spoke with both pharmaceutical and medical representatives and the plan , for all practical purposes is identical to the 2017 plan. The only unknowns were some specific mail order drug costs due to that information not being current.
An example of one of my concerns was that the formulary plan said two of my meds were not available through mail order any longer. The rep I talked with went to FOP specific information and confirmed that they were still available by mail order but that prices COULD be different as a result of the supplier cost to the pharmacy being raised.
Just an FYI based on my research.
Stay fetal and safe.
Be glad you don’t have take home squads with that design!
this design is common in police cars in Europe. Nothing new here.
“We would protect and serve” would have been better off in comic sans.
Please keesing Bandit... I need your keeses!!!!!

11/08/2017 12:13:00 AM
Yep, comes fully equipped. Also includes drain holes in the floorboards so you don't have to worry about spilled drinks, bodily fluid leakage, or snow/slush on your boots. As an added bonus, the drain holes act as a backup speedometer for when the dash goes on the fritz.
stop complaining they give a car with a full tank of gas now get out there and get some numbers for these merit bosses
Holy fuck. This is an embarrassment and like most here I'm past that point of no return and forced to endure this clown show until retirement. FUCK.
Should read “Chicago Crime Monitors” sorry sir or ma’am, we don’t prevent Crime we just monitor it. Just like the bank guard in the middle of an armed robbery. The devil and his disciples are having their way in transforming the law of the land into the law of the jungle/swamp.
Question is Why?
It's hideous, the one we currently have is way better. excuse me while i go vomit
What is the love affair between CPD and a checkerboard? Unless the goal is to look dated and dorky...
Is the font for “We serve and protect” comic sans??? What the fuck is this shit?! My wife uses that for her kindergarten class she teaches. This place is truly a fucking joke.
bring back the blue and whites from the 60-70's

Well that guy just completely wasted his time and money. Case dismissed. I bet he keeps his cell phone on him for 9 hours while he's at work.. yep an electronic device. Not to mention it's the dumbest lawsuit ever
Looks ridiculous, go figure though it's Chicago PD. Most burb PD cars are bad ass black and don't look fu fu.
What's the point? After a few years of constant abuse the outside body will be rusting and the decals will be peeling off.
Of course, when that happens you will be told to take it into the area and will be swiftly told that " that's a warranty" problem. So the car will be taken to the closest dealership which I guarantee will be in some far away suburb because no dealer within the city limits still puts up with the department's "fix now, we pay later" deal.
Are the photos of the 3 stooges
RAHM. FOXX. KIDNEY BEAN. ON THE TRUNK ?
Probably someone got paid a million dollars to design that.

There is some validity to the health aspect of this. We are bombarded with additional electromagnetic radiation from radios that are in close proximity to our head, abdomen, and pelvis. Additional exposure comes from the PDTs and computers in the station. Now add another source of exposure from the body cameras. It would be interesting to see some numbers regarding radiation dosage per year and its cumulative effects. The duty belt and vest with all the extra weight is detrimental to your posture, pelvic muscles, and spine. That was confirmed by several chiropractors I've seen already. They even recommended removing all the equipment for at least 15 min several times throughout the tour to relieve the pressure on the back. Not that the city gives a fuck about any of this - they don't even cover the free 20 chiro adjustments/yr anymore.
Please tell me someone did not win the design contest. That's looks stupid!!!
Chicago's version of the "cash cab" show. I wonder if they have a violet 'lyft' sign on the dash when you aren't on a job....
Please get rid of the checkerboard.
Next, make uniform shirts navy blue, like the rest of the country.
At least they didn't use the British checkerboard like Combined insurance did on the open enrollment mailing.
I drive everybody around. The farther, the better. It waste time and I stay down on and then I go home. That’s how it’s done by a true veteran... Don’t fight it, go with the flow. “Be water my friend”, Bruce Lee.
I wonder who the "connected" graphic "artist" is that got paid way too much money for this horseshit design?
WHAT A JOKE , What else can I possibly say , now there even trying to degrade the looks of a Police Squad Car

https://ambulancevisibilityblog.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/the-difference-between-battenburg-high-visibility-markings-and-sillitoe-chequers-on-police-fire-ambulance-vehicles/
Which states in part:
Sillitoe is not easily visualised over longer distances as the squares tend to merge and become less obvious. Agencies located around the world are now removing the Sillitoe scheme and replacing it with solid panels or wide striping in fluorescent colours.
This new design is a Sillitoe scheme, BTW. Day late, dollar short, that's us!

11/08/2017 03:37:00 PM
A lot of people ( those never involved in a civil lawsuit before) are always crying , "sue", "sue". They have no idea what they are getting into when they sue someone, especially a very big someone like the City of Chicago. It takes money and a lot of it to do this, unless you find a lawyer who will take it on contingency and even then you will have to pony up with the expenses upfront, at least 10 grand. And, if you lose, the city will send you a bill for their expenses and that will cost you at least 15-20 grand. It is not an easy thing to do unless you are in a protected class and you claim discrimination, then things become very much easier. Talk is cheap, suing is not. And, lets not forget all of the time you will be spending at depositions, in court, at hearings, gathering evidence and convincing other cops to testify for you ( also not easy because I can promise you the department will try to intimidate them also). Good luck

I am sure bt 3730 (GR) already has his own personal squad car outfitted with the new design. Heck he probably designed it himself like he tries to design everything else on this dept.
He’s the asshole going lights and siren on the Kennedy in bound everyday at the same time.
WTF am I looking at? It's nice they're bringing back the Chicago Police star and it looks like they got rid of that useless CAPS crap, but dear God...whoever did this must have been drunk, high on crack or both. I would have been in favor of going retro--back to the old blue and white look of the 60's.
This is just a bloody mess....come to think of it that does fit just what this city has become..
I like it.
Looks designed by committee.
- not a LEO
The design of the graphics makes the car appear to be lop sided. There is no balance to the design. The star size is out of proportion as to where it is placed. A star of that size would work on the front door. Also that star was never representative of the past or present stars carried by sworn members. It is kind of simplified version. Other law enforcement agencies that display their stars/badges are representative of the actual identification. Hope CPD comes up with something better than this. When will they jazzing up the CFD insignia?
All we need is to convert over to European sirens
(i.e. French) that undulate in and out in pitch, you

Bite me asshole. He was a good copper and a smart man who still lives here. Our patch is unique. And you are the only asshole complaining about it.
Very simple fix, put the CPD Star on drivers door, put checkerboard horizontal and Serve and Protect on back in block letters not that goofy writing and you have a legitimate looking squad car, not something that looks like a Parking Enforcement Vehicle in Belgium. Stop it not and correct it.
Has anyone ever heard of the term "less is more"?
That is hideous...unbelievably ugly
Wow, almost a week now and not a peep from any politician, any tv or newspaper and worst of all...the department or union.
Like the guy didn't exist to anyone but his daughter.

That's a disgrace. Looks like something a kid with photoshop would make.

My 6 year-old is very proud of that design. He whipped it up in four or five minutes. And, he won!
I wonder how many clowns will fit inside?
Looks like shit. Nothing wrong with the old design. Waste of revenue.
Please get rid of the checkerboard.
Next, make uniform shirts navy blue, like the rest of the country.
11/08/2017 04:57:00 PM
No, you fucking nerd, we don't need to change the uniforms or the car designs.
Why in the fuck do you care that are uniforms are not like the rest of the country? What's wrong, momma dont have enough laundry detergent to wash your uniforms more than once a week ?
I am going to put daisy decals on mine.
Um, where's my bread stix and 2-liter ?
It's almost cartoon-like.... on an angle as if the vehicle were crashing in a cartoon on a crazy angle, and then the CPD star just pops up! scrreeeeeeechh..... booooom..... bang..... DING! (pixie dust flitters downward)
Looks like a pace car for the Indy 500, not a police vehicle. I can't wait to retire. I'm so embarrassed.
If you don’t want this design on your car, do one of two things...
1. Get Trump to like it or
2. Associate it with a white supremist group
Liberals will go crazy and demand that the design be removed.
There's still plenty of room for a few unicorns on there. Can someone please photoshop a Camel with that paint scheme and post it. I'm too old to know how to do that shit.
Looks like vehicles for Crash Test Dummies.
And decals? For those prices, we should get
real paint.
Hideous! Looks like a pizza delivery vehicle. Ugh!!!
Looks like a hipster had a hand in it. Trying to get all modern. Bring back the retro blue and whites with the wobbler ong-ong sirens.
Lookin good boys, lookin good
Two words; fucked-up!!
Sorry SSC, that's what comes to mind.

The 1990 Chevy Caprices were awesome. V8 350 had balls and could do a u turn anywhere.

Indeed!
But man oh man...
Those '94 to '96 "Rocket Chevy"
9c1 Caprices at CTA Special Employment?
Detuned Corvette engines with iron heads
and big 4 wheel disc brakes.
Go & Whoa.
It was kind of ironic to be chasing
down buses with an honest to God rocket.
Those things were FAST!
"Lincoln 7XX?"
"7XX go..."
"Bus Alarm... Standing southbound,
111-Hundred on Michigan, Bus #XXXX
no further information."
"Nobody up in 005 for that job squad?
we're just leaving the Kraft Building now."
"Sorry... It's all yours.'
"WTF? Hope the driver isn't getting
boot-fucked (ass-kicked) by the locals."
Oh well... After midnight and s/b on the
Ryan = 130+ and steady as a rock.
...Of course the bus was gone when we got there
and the dispatcher was like, "whatever."
There was chatter in 91c-land that a
CHP Officer laid his ears back and
clocked an indicated 158 MPH reeling
in a speeder.
(CHP was into all kinds of fun stuff
like special ordering Police Pursuit
Z-28 Camaros with 403 Pontiac engines)
The exempts at the time said there was no
way in hell those cars were going to be
CPD fleet because they were MUCHO faster
than the '87 to'90 Box Chevys and the
'91 and '92 Bubble Chevys.
The '93s were WAY down on power and
mud slow because Fleet ordered them
with 305 V8s
The '94 to '96 model years were the 255 V8
taxi package...
>Brrmmmm! Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt!<
Good Times?
Well... Mostly.
That truly is hideous looking.
So glad I’m done in a few months.
It's ugly. Brought to you by the same people that brought you those stars that look like they came out of a Cracker Jack box.
Not that bad just needs some better rims.
Where's the American flag?
Where's the police flag with the blue line?
Where's the Chicago Flag?
Oh yeah, those must all be racist symbols!
Fuck this city!!
(OT) The police need your help people Robbed,beaten every five minutes there;
3 mugged in Uptown in 15 minutes, reports say
http://abc7chicago.com/3-mugged-in-uptown-in-15-minutes-reports-say/2622478/
Notify police to mediately here's the description of the offenders if you see any of them are groups of them call 911;
The blog said there is surveillance video of one of the violent attacks. The robbers appear to be between 15 and 18 old.
Citizens be careful citywide I would be very careful especially around high schools and other areas that teenagers congregate if you see them any groups call 911 immediately for your own safety the media has finally told us what the offenders look like .
God Bless You CPD Officer! Chance the rapper can go to hell!!!!!
The Keesing Bandit says---
Keeses are awarded after many of my famous white wine spritzers served at my pretty loft. You know where it is cutie. Quit stalling.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
My grandkids could come up with a better design.
J.J.
The current shoulder patch on our sleeves was designed in 1979 when some drunken deputy took an octagon shaped ashtray and sketched it out.
-------------
Bite me asshole. He was a good copper and a smart man who still lives here. Our patch is unique. And you are the only asshole complaining about it.
-------------
I'm not complaining about it.
Just telling the TRUTH.
What happens to the design when Ford changes the shape of the vehicle.. HUH?
The city will have over 1000 emblem sets that will be useless.
This is almost as drastic as when the department went from black and whites to blue and whites, the Wilson moment in the 60's. Fortunately, I will not be around the department to much longer, and will not have to get use to this new design, like the coppers in the 60's had to get use to the new blue and whites. Later suckers...........
The checked stripe shows the optimal angle for reclining during the 1st watch.
Well at least the CAPS bullshit is gone.
If Hillary won we would have a laquan mcdonald memorial airbrushed onto the hood of every squad car

Liking how you think!
+1
Please tell me this is not real, my 8 year old with special needs, could have designed a better beat car. Truly pathetic, nothing surprises me anymore from Research and Development , the fucking brainiacs who never have had 1 day street experience and make us working coppers live's miserable. Just like their Fucking Body worn cameras, they can shove them up their ass and take pictures of their colon! WORST THING TO EVER TO DEMORALIZE WORKING POLICE OFFICERS IN ALL OF HISTORY, LIKE WE ARE FUCKING ROBOTS!!!!
Fuck this department administration and their brown nosing pen holding whores who work for them making our lives miserable.
I apologize , I'm keeping is real, but they don't want to accept the truth & look in the mirror @ their ugly souls.
