Comments on: Coppers Grow Facial Hair For A Cause https://boiseguardian.com/2012/10/16/coppers-grow-facial-hair-for-a-cause/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Tim https://boiseguardian.com/2012/10/16/coppers-grow-facial-hair-for-a-cause/#comment-35278 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:15:36 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=8956#comment-35278 dog, the new “roit/swat tank” is a military surplus vehicle that now belongs to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. If you have a problem with that, maybe you should “bark” up that tree. Aslo, what does a “militaristic/fascist” look like?

EDITOR NOTE–You guys have forced me to cut off comments on this post. We don’t like to spread hate over something as benign as cancer.

the dodge charges, BMW bikes, chest cams, and drones in flight over the vally, begs the question why is it we keep cutting funding from the education, and no teachers are out there sporting newly grown face hair for cash

At least the goatees will give them a less militaristic /fascist look.

Anybody seen the new riot/swat tank? I saw it parked out on Barrister for a while. Think they park it inside now. Toys for the boys.

Cut and paste the follwing title into google to find the article:

Women REALLY don’t like beards: And they also make men seem older and more aggressive, say psychologists

Wow, what sympathy you have!!! If you knew anything about the department, you would know they also support many worthwhile causes. One is childrens cancer research in the spring, St Baldricks, by raising funds for the cause. They also are very big into Big Brothers/Sisters of Idaho, as well as Idaho Special Olympics. Many officers give off duty time and money to these causes. Every school year and at Christmas time there is a program called Shop with a Cop, where the Boise Police Association donates money to help buy underprivileged school clothes, supplies and toys at Christmas. So, get off your high horse, its just not because its one of their own.

So nice of them to show strong community bonds for their organization, such that they are even willing to bend a few rules when it suits their interests…
