Is it a compliment when people say you look like a Cop and/or someone in military?

[ORDER_66]

nah its rather disrespectful to me... my little brother said it to me before. and im like... at least i dont dress like a fukking clown with mismatched colors and tight ass skinny jeans...

Military is probably a compliment. Means you got that David goggins aesthetic, in shape and focused looking
Cop is an insult.

Its better than people thinking you look like a thug or hoodlum or criminal as society unfairly assigns black men.

Thats a compliment in the black community

 

[F*ckthemkids]

It means you don’t have any facial hair and as black men that’s weird

How is that weird?

How is that weird?

Black men in their mid 20s and up look weird with facial hair

This isn’t new. How many non cops, politicians and army black men are walking around here with no facial hair?

Man stop it. I’ve never heard any brothas classified as weird for being clean shaven.

You know black men that are clean shaven?

The only grown men I know that are clean shaven are in the military and fireman

Oh really

I get this all the time and I am not sure why. I dress pretty conservative. Most of the time I wear fitted shirts, fitted jeans, and a cap. I'm pretty sure its also how I carry myself too. I personally don't like it because people automatically assume I'm uptight. Those close to me know I'm a goofy person at heart but its the cop energy i project outward..

Police = They're saying you're a MAGA pig, race soldier, hey don't shoot officer ole 21 Jump street ass

Military = They're saying you look disciplined and focused

Not a compliment at all…

 

[TEH]

I’m not sure if you look like a cop officer

Interesting replies.

I see it as a compliment. Especially the military one. You probably speak well with a deep voice, tall, nice build/muscular, wear basic fitted (but not too fitted) clothes.

Yeah I do. I know quite a few.

Are they able to grow facial hair?
