C’mon.

It has the same wingspread, and the Gothic font.

There is no way it isn’t exactly what it looks like.

A non issue.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

Sprinkles are for winners.

His other tattoo has an AR-15 or M16.

From the additional links for that story. Looks like the officer in question likes to play dress-up Nazi:

Mindy Isser

He’s a WW2 re-enactor. Isser is an idiot.

Right. It’s nothing serious like, say, a pickle jar. THAT reflects character.

Its an odd issue. Is it a big deal or not? A cop with a Nazi or Nazi-ish tattoo.

Lets say there is nothing ugly on his record and he’s been a cop for a while.
What, if anything, should be done?

I know, in the future, they will make a new policy about tattoos.
But what to do about him?

It raises all kinds of questions about what criteria should be ‘deal-breakers’ as far as getting to be a law-enforcement officer. Like, what if he was a holocaust-denier — should that matter? What if he thinks black people should move to Africa — does that matter? What if he had a confederate flag tattoo?

He gets assessed on his actions like anybody else. He can believe whatever he wants, but he can’t behave however he wants.

Well but what if he is being interviewed for a Job as a cop. Can the fact he ‘believes’ in Nazi-like ideas, be a deal-breaker?

Yes. There’s no way anyone spouting Nazi ideals should be considered fit for police work.

Recruits at police academies go through a battery of psychological testing that’s supposed to identify people with these attitudes. But the system has major flaws.

I would think so. But there’s nothing you can do about it if he gets the tattoo after he is hired. Except watch him carefully.

And I think that’s the consequence he has to pay. He is going to be scrutinized, the same as Kaepernick has to pay a price. Step out of the mainstream…it will cost you.

Maybe he had a part in the latest version of “Springtime for Hitler”

It has the word “Fatherland” above it.
Maybe he’s just a Robert Harris fan.
