Arlington Police force is totally reactive. Couldn’t do community policing if it received a billion dollar grant from DOJ.

I am always amazed how many folks seize upon a good news story to say somethin stupid and petty..geez these guys are stepping up to protect us and the best you can come up with is “cute” or splitting hairs on the word heroic…many of you guys are chiding Arlnow.com but its pretty obvious you are stuck in adolescence

“Arlington’s next police academy class is expected to be much smaller, we’re told.”…I don’t know if I want our police officers to be much smaller than some of the shorties in this pic…though a couple of the dudes on the ends look like linebackers. Kidding of course…congrats to the new officers…overall we should be glad we have the types of cops we have here instead of some of the issues in Philly, B-More, etc with corrupt cops.

“these officers will be putting their lives on the line to save our lives.”

You don’t think that’s tyring to make them seem like heroes? The hyperbole in that line is a bit much, namely the “save our lives” part (we ALL will have our lives saved by these cadets?!). Just because the OP didn’t specifically use the word “hero” doesn’t mean he wasn’t trying to make them appear heroic.

I was expecting more Mahoney, Lt Harris, Hightower and Tackleberry references from this crowd.

That’s not too much break. Maybe a little on a couple of the females.

But you try painting a stripe down your suit pants and see how it looks.

Nice catch. Perhaps it is related to the propensity of baseball players to wear their uniforms as pajamas?
