    The Spread Eagle, the Nordic helmets, Nordic rune, and the Blood Eagle wings on the back…

    The saying on the hands is common to the military, and references how they’re going to make a call if something is 50/50. Without knowing if he served I can’t judge that. But he’s just a civilian then it’s pretty screwed up.

        For fuck’s sake these dicks really think they’re in some kind of war. That’s a military saying, from a place where driving down the street was a roll of the dice and a firefight was a matter of when, not if, every day.

        If that’s what they think policing is then we really need to just fire them now.

      If the complete tat is along the lines of: “it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8”, it’s been familiar to law enforcement circles (which circles the drain with ex-military, so not surprising) for a long time. When I was in college in a criminal justice program, several instructors repeated this over and over (except I believe it was “… carried by 6”.

      I didn’t stay in that program, BTW.

        It is supposed to be carried by 6. But it’s also supposed to reference a war zone. Not policing where upholding the law is the mission.
