    Let’s not stigmatize people who get a lot of ink. And I say that as someone who has no tattoos.

    It’s not about the fact that he has tattoos or even that he has tattoos that you think make him look like a gang member.

    It’s about what those tattoos show about him. Tattoos are an expensive and painful form of expression. You generally don’t get them unless it’s something important to you. Tattoos that say things like “punish the deserving” are going to look really fucking bad when you’re a cop that committed murder.
