So Zimmerman is charged with 2nd degree murder.

It's relevant as it pertains to the credibility of the police department in question and the officer giving the statements

That's like saying no police department can have a badge shaped like an MP badge, because it will give them extra credibility. Given, the medals have a distinct meaning in the military, there is NO intent on the PD's part to gain "credibility" by using the same ribbons. I would bet none of the jurors could tell you what ANY of the ribbons mean, any more than YOU could tell me what the medals of the local PD mean.

When exactly did the police force start using the military badges as their own rewards? Have they been doing it for years, or is it something that was done recently?

Sounds like I can identify what they're using as can several other people, thus this line of conversation. If you're using military ribbons, you alter it so that it's not identifiable as a military ribbon. Same as if I buy a vehicle used by the PD, I can't have it painted like a squad and put lights up in the window with "Sheriff" painted on the side. You aren't part of that organization, you didn't earn the right to wear that, you don't wear it.

How is this hard?

You mean asking for the law to apply to citizens and their servants equally?

Face palm.......

So Frosty, you would be OK with me wearing a good conduct medal, overseas service ribbon, MUC, NUC, Etc... On my PD uniform?

Did you earn them? If you earned them, have at. If you didn't, leave the shiny to those who did. Are you saying she earned these ribbons or did they just pick some out and start pinning them to the cops to make them look good?

Again I say. Wo gives a fuck about the medals? Only you Mr. military guys whose whole life is defined by their current/past military service. How does the fact that some other group of people who use the same symbol or pattern of fucking cloth on a pin, with a different meaning for each group, add or detract from the credibility? Not in a military uniform and have a different meaning? Articulate what the different meaning is and move the fuck along.

I think some of you guys beat off to pictures of Chesty Puller. What the fuck, the world exists outside of your military mindset.

You mean people who actually know what those medals mean and what is required to be sacrificed to earn them?

Fuck yeah they do

God damnit Frost, Shut the fuck up.
No one gives a shit. NO ONE. Ok, you have an issue with it. Fine, go start a thread bitching about it, like your other 9 million threads.
Can we at least keep this one related to testimonies, evidence, etc etc? Not a single mother fucker here gives a god damn about a PD's stupid fucking choice in a medal for their awards. No one, but you. Go outside, onto your porch, and scream and talk to the other people that give a fuck.
