par for the course I guess but I sorta expected better from our cops and to separate themselves from the seppo cops in this political climate

Losers, man
Why are urban Police masked and dressed in Camo?
Police wear face covering and full army gear is wrong.
For what? There’s no context here
Commandos and SASR don it because they’re an elite fighting force, a police officer wearing it flies in the face of the IP.
The author of The Punisher unfortunately had to make this distinction for some morons.
Is there an actual source for this image?
“it’s a skull so it’s tough” – these muppets putting comic book shit on their work gear
OP, what’s a ‘Punisher AR lower’ and what are the implications of Queensland police using it?
Forgive the dumb question, but isn’t the butt or stock part of such a rifle mean to rest against your shoulder to handle the recoil in case you need to move that finger to the trigger suddenly and squeeze?
This is the first time I’ve seen someone express the view that they expected a QLD cop to take the high road
Edit: just noticed his name is Dangle. The only suitable attire for a cop named Dangle is short shorts and white ostrich-leather cowboy boots for goofin’.
People being upset at a specialist counter terrorist unit being militarised is fucking weird lmao.
They’re our version of SWAT.. what should they breach doors and strongholds with?
SERT selection is incredibly difficult these aren’t beat police.
Also, they have different camo and kits for different settings. The pictures of tradies in high visibility, jeans a tactical vest and a rifle is these guys.
I mean, does it really matter?
These are the people who went into Wieambilla to rescue their fallen comrades.
If having an icon/logo like that helps them get through what they potentially have to deal with, then I say go for it.
Also, wherever you got this picture… you blacked out this officer’s eyes, yet left their name exposed (I think) on their shoulder…..
Why do people have a problem with this?
Now, I understand being against the militarisation of GDs, I am too.
However, these are specialist police, the same guys that drove into Wiembilla under fire to rescue fallen officers. These guys go through a rigours selection and training, working on hostage rescue, sieges and counter terror, these guys are a rare occasion to the public.
Edit – Noticed the punisher logo, absolutely unprofessional given the connotations of the symbol and the role both the police and specialist police serve.
They have badges, names and numbers on them. They are most definitely different to the US clown show.
It’s ironic because Frank Castle (The Punisher) hates police who use his symbol.
Frank Castle knows he’s a murderer.
Pretty sure the punisher hated cops? Correct me if im wrong please.
Stop trying to fan more hatred.
If anyone is making us more like the USA, it’s the people who post shit like this to make people hate police.
I’m going to say who ever ordered the lowers/rifles to begin with bought them as a batch, seeing as the 2 rifles in the picture have them in the same place. I don’t think individual cops would be able to buy and use their own rifles/rifle parts for active policing.
Shocking that the cops are too dumb to understand the… I was going to say subtext but I think it’s just the implicit message of the Punisher character.
You guys have to much time on your hands to criticise this. Don’t overthink the logo. Most people just think it looks cool. If you need these guys to come help you it means no one else has the capability to do it and you are in a world of hurt. I am sure no one would care if they got rescued by a guy with a punisher logo during a terrorist incident.
Jesus Christ the boys can’t have anything anymore
Who gives a shit
Guy in the back has it on his rifle as well…
You think what happened in Sydney looked bad?
I remember protesting against Joh in the 70s & 80s, it was never fists. It was baton charges, a lot of the Qld cops had knuckle dusters or similar.
I spent 14 hours in a cell with a fractured skull.
The angle makes it fun because the guy on the right looks like he has a tiny arm / hand and is helping his friend hold the rifle up.
Why the hell are cops wearing camo?
