I think thats the thing is they need to look professional. In NYC now they allow male cops to have long dreadlocks and to me it seems I just cant take them as seriously as one with a military type hair cut, and this is comming from a guy who has long hair as well

They should wear sleeveless shirts too.

mustaches on cops should be manditory!!! Along with these shorts so I can get a good laugh after I get pulled over.

Because it looks 'gangsta'

I know cops are people too, but as a person of authority, maintaining a clean-cut, professional image is important.
Perhaps what fits within those parameters seems judgmental or arbitrary sometimes, but it creates the necessary separation between officers and civilians.

That's what bugs me, right there. Why is it unprofessional for a white cop, but perfectly acceptable for "dozens of black officers"?
