It seems in L.A even the cops might be in gangs ..

Has anyone heard of this in other sheriff or police departments in other parts of the country ?

Sheriffs having matching tattoos and names like the Grim Reapers ?

A lot of jobs don’t allow you to show tattoos but I have seen cops in L.A with tattoos .
I don’t think it’s a job that should allow visible tattoos . What do you think ?


At a church in Compton last week, community members spoke out about allegations of deputy gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department — the topic of similar gatherings several years back.

The meeting was in response to news last month about a deputy’s testimony that he and as many as 20 officers at the Sheriff’s Compton Station have tattoos of a skeleton holding a rifle and wearing a military-style helmet bearing the letters “C P T.”

Other deputy crews, with names such as the Vikings, Grim Reapers and Jump Out Boys, have been accused of promoting excessive force, though many deputies say the groups and their tattoos signify good behavior.

Why do some L.A. sheriff's deputies have matching skull tattoos? It

I don't know for sure why the police officers have matching tattoos, but my brother has matching tattoo with his fellow force recons. (It is small and it is on his back) I think it shows some kind of loyalty and brotherhood.

Oh, God, no! Some police members have matching tattoos! Whatever should we do?!?!


Yet as we speak there tattooed gangbangers killing innocents in drive by shootings, druggies microwaving their babies, homeless crapping all over the San Fran streets, straw-bans being enforced, rapidly expanding homeless populations, meth heads running into traffic, drug cartels cutting off peoples' heads... but lets freak out about police tattoos.


Unreal. You wouldn't last one day in their shoes, so shut the funk up. Let em have their tattoos, they're out there doing a crappy job that you would never take because you're not man enough. Move on, find something serious to be concerned about.

I really don't know why you hate military and police officers so much.
