Know which cops I would trust? One with a patch of barney fife on his shoulder. No gun related deaths, no complaints from bipolar. Legend
TheBelcherKids
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Most of them have no idea where its from. The ones who do think its from American Sniper.

thatsbadmmkay
They want to break they law and execute people without trial is what they're saying.
Weentit
I think the breakdown for many people is that there are half the country who wishes they could murder people for real & the other are not
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Well, yeah? They've been supporting white supremacist terrorism, of course they like terrorists.
DrLOAC
Those police cars were real (luckily public outcry had them repainted)
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
JFC did they also redesign their uniforms to have hoods?
robotnixon13
Punisher patches are always cringe, no matter who is wearing it.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
He does what he does because he feels the system is corrupt. If police in the system do what he does, they're making it corrupt.
OhIfIMust
Yeah, you're definitely not screaming your support for Due Process and Rule of Law when you've got this guy's patch on your shoulder.

keulenclown
Only Judge Dredd would be worse.
camcam1234
That's the point. These cops don't care for the law, they just want to be thugs.
YouEatYellowSnow
If anything he's an Anti-Cop. The cops could not serve the justice because of corruption, so he became a vigilante to take out the cartels.
TechnicallyRight
How about the punisher logo, with the usa flag and thin blue line as one of the stripes on the back of the lift kit jeep, state police boi!!
TechnicallyRight
btw thats not me, just someone i saw out driving the other day, 100% illinois state police officer...
DivorcedOfCourse
I’ll do you one better... picture that but with “trump hair” and I saw that one next to a “combat vet sticker at the VA hospital.
Bossco20
Yeah, I hate The Punisher more than anyone who read Marvel comics, but I just don't want to give white supremacists the skull
OneTrueGif
I love his character because of the message it is supposed to send. Also, he won't fight Cap cause of his hero worship of him.
Bossco20
He still joined 1940s Nazi Hydra because Captain America told him to and he's essentially just a crazed gunman
OneTrueGif
Don't meet your heroes.
HurrDurrImABurr
Let's not talk about this bullshit story arc.
OnceIwasCaptainHammerNowIWishIwasNightMonkey
Everything after Frankencastle was announced never happened.
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
Kinda makes sense since most of them go around the law or the law doesnt apply to them and they never face any accountability.
mannyy
Seeing as how this guy is part of marvel I wonder how long before Disney steps in?
crazyanimal2534
He hated nazi’s and terrorists too. He was a vigilante, only killed those who deserved it
MrFuzzyBlumpkin
The whole reason the Punisher existed is because of the failures in law enforcement.
nonCanadianGoose
Vigilante to be more precise. He fully admits it. Born out of the same ire that thinks Brock Turner needs a beating
DoxycXIX
Are you talking about Brock Turner, the Rapist?
MandaloreTheJust
How about “power and responsibility” like Spider-Man. These cops need to understand they have a great responsibility because of the power.
ThisIsTheShortestUsernameICouldFind
Double irony, he hunts corrupt cops
DVSBSTrD
Lassannn
If you're gonna use a superhero or villain as your logo, just pick Superman. No complaints.
mjangelvortex
Or Spider-Man. After all, his whole character revolves around "With great power, comes great responsibility."
Rifneno
Supes is the best. It's a shame people think he's boring because they've never read a good Supes story. Granted, he's hard af to write well
tcc3
Thay cant do that, hes an illegal alien!
DarkBusterBaron
Or spider man or Captain America or one of the many other heroes who actively protect and help people it’s not like they don’t have options.

Nichomon
Our PD actually told us we can't have punisher logos, or Joker smiles on our masks. Like right as they were making masks mandatory.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
I mean, good, but is it being enforced?
Nichomon
Oh yea, they even made face masks for us to wear. That, all black, or regular medical masks.
MoldyCrow
IMO he’s more a vigilante than a terrorist. Definitely a criminal, but he doesn’t have any political objectives other than killing bad guys
copingcabana
This should be part of the psyche evaluation for cops. Pick an appropriate hero: Punisher, Batman, Deadpool or None of the Above
Rifneno
Cap should be an option, and the only acceptable choice (besides none). Batman doesn't kill when it IS necessary, Cap will.
copingcabana
Batman is also a vigilante, and any evidence he collects is inadmissible.
copingcabana
Fair point on Cap - that's why I didn't include him :)

People want to see themselves as a hero, but fail to realize that the guys that hijacked a plane saw themselves in the same light.
Camelspotting
I think the punisher sees himself more as the villain's villain.
EverythingThatFallsToTheGroundIsMine
But... that’s what the law is for. The punisher is just a sadist with a couple requirements for his targets. He’s no different than them.
Mostlydeadpool
nobody sees themselves as the villain. Except the operative on Serenity. Which made him that much more terrifying.
Dankking
I’m bad, and that’s good. I’ll never be good and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be, than me!

Holy hells you just dug him out and plopped him in the open... Just like that. Freeing the lion....
BrickShakes
None of those would make sense either, Cops are not fighters. Their job is to find and deliver people to the court, not fight them.

Kingdomonsterdeath
So his nemesis is all the other cops....?
Strangedays2026
Spiderman netting crooks and leaving them hanging would be the closest comparison, but even he gets involved in more than cops should.
CausticLemonEnema
Well, supposed to be, but definitely not currently. Defund the police
Thoughttoolongaboutthis
"Defund the police" is a dumb fucking thing to say.
NotWelcomehere
Not looking past the first instinct you have is also pretty fucking dumb.

Educate the police. Teach them how to de-escalate, calm down, and disarm in a non-lethal way.
Kingdomonsterdeath
This will never occur while you have an over armed citizenry with no mental health support, and hero complexes from media. And racism.
JackOfBeasts
Classes to educate and reform the police have been happening for decades, largely fruitlessly. They tend to treat it like a joke.
AnAverageAverageGuy
And the job for the people is not to break the law. But the world isn't that simple.
slimmunddaniel
This actually gave me a good laugh, but I fear you weren’t trying to be funny. This reasoning is at a toddler level.
BrickShakes
I get money for this ? Why didn't anybody tell me sooner ?
filben7
Your elevator doesnt go all the way to the top, does it? because "cops and criminals are the same" isnt the gotcha you think it is.
BSwann
I don't think that's what he's saying. If the criminal was actually not resisting instead of just saying 'I'm not resisting' when clearly
BSwann
They still are they wouldn't need to be body slammed etc.
jupitermonkey
"elevator doesn't go all the way" cracked me up. i'm gonna use that. have a +1 as payment.

Funny story, Castle himself acknowledged that fact.

You realise the qtards wouldn't even touch a book with a 10 feet pole right? For them the punisher is a cool guy who kills people

NKato
Came here to say this. This is perhaps the only reason I appreciate (not admire) Frank Castle. He doesn't need false pretenses.
potshot
The whole point of the character is to cause the reader to experience contradictory feelings when Frank does something obviously wrong(1)
potshot
and you realize it, and yet since the victims are horrible people, you don't feel bad for it. You can't even rationalize it, since Frank (2)
potshot
constantly brings up his immorality.(3)

Yup...

A fact oft forgotten by his followers is that he may not care from where the blood flows but he definitely cares about the means

alot of chaos followers forget some key things about their gods, like Nurgle is also the chaos god of life(and i think love) 1/2

Legitimately thought of this quote, thank you so much for posting this
Crowlands
THIS (And a few similar scenes) is why I love the character of the Punisher. He's my favourite And least favourite, based on writer.
GBPsforTendies
Garth Ennis punisher is one of the best characters ever written. Some of the other writers versions not so much
Rifneno
⓵Oh that Max run was AMAZING! But it also highlights why Garth needs an editor who tells him no sometimes. Like remember that scene where
Rifneno
⓸"this is why Garth Ennis needs to be filtered through people who are okay."
Rifneno
⓶that crazy woman saved him, but then kidnapped him? And while he's still tied up, she starts to fuck him. But like I said, crazy, and she
Rifneno
⓷blows her own head off during it. And there's this moment where Frank's still tied up, inside his dead rapist, and I think to myself,
kiddub
There’s also the piece in civil war where he lets cap beat the shit out of him while telling cap to be one of the good guys, be his hero
Trankia12
Like he wanted cap to beat the shit out of him?
ReJokeStatistics
He wouldn't fight back because he holds Cap in very high regard.
ZeroLogain
He refused to defend himself because he knew cap was morally in the right.
PerpetuityPhoto
The bit where he was like "Harder, Daddy America" was a LITTLE weird though.
Rifneno
On the other side of the fence, sometimes we see why he's a necessary evil.
(Yes, it's a crossover)
NothingPrince
When was this DC Marvile cross over?
Crowlands
Batman then kicks his ass... But not before Joker admits he's scared, because if Punisher kills him, it means Nothing. Frank won't care.
Rifneno
That's not true. Frank might think of it when he's rubbing one out later.
CatskinnerKeen
I love this book SO MUCH.
VanillaJester
God, I wish. The Joker's mythology is so stupid. He's literally just one dude. He's not that scary.
WoahMyDudeThatsCrazy
So's batman, thats the thing, hes a dude (or three) but its how he uses his mind a resources that makes him scary, hes the worst of humanity
GodofBacon
He's actually 3 dudes.
LTCmdrTomDodge
This dude is definitely on the "If you idolize them then you've missed the point" list.
FallingStar7669
Romeo and Juliet being the OG example of "the word 'tragedy' is in the fucking title, you moron."
xyrax
Tyler Durden or whatever his name is from Fight Club is on that list somewhere too.
Malus333
Along with Rorschach
Dagordae
Unfortunately that list includes a bunch, if not most, of his writers. Dude’s given stronger plot armor than Batman, he’s always right.
mop82
Even in his own comics, he straight up kills people who try to imitate him and has told police to idolize Captain America instead.
pareidoliaperson
But neither Joker would hire or the Punisher would support these terrorists.
subduedreader
The Joker might claim to, just to screw with people.
kleverbluejones
um.. some people have been seriously shit upon in life, and have some reason to idolize someone who can force a reckoning upon the wicked.
kleverbluejones
however, if you are an unmolested healthy employed adult, there is little reason for punisher to be your role model
shortyjjp
Castle has actually said literally this in a comic
FourLegsGood
Imgur misses the point half the time
tomatoboy
^people miss the point half the time. There, fixed that for you.

There is no justice in law, I ve seen only the netflix series and sure, he is not "good guy", but eye for and eye is justice.
IOwnTheSpire
Violence is like a disease. You don't cure diseases by spreading them to more people.

The punisher show was good but it was really watered down compared to in the comics
SirSandwich

CallThisAUsername
Hated his guts all the movie. Dunno how people can think he was the hero.
boomfelazi
I wanted to cut his tongue just for the accent he was running
EverythingThatFallsToTheGroundIsMine
The people who like Tony from Scarface are just closet drug dealers. Literally idolizing a failed entrepreneur as a symbol of success.
Mostlydeadpool
Sort of like harley quinn. She's not a healthy role model for anyone.
PutItInNeutral
She seems nice though. Especially in Wolf of Wall Street.
Rifneno
I wouldn't put Harley in with Frank. Harley once killed a bunch of kids cuz she was bored. Frank is PSYCHOTIC about never killing innocents.
xKaraKx
Shes gotten better in the last decade
PerpetuityPhoto
Ehhhh... used to be that she was a good kid that got sucked into a bad situation by a manipulator. Now she's just a bog-standard psycho.
xKaraKx
Most super people are
PerpetuityPhoto
That's what annoys me though. TAS, in a show ostensibly made for children, wrote a WAY better character than professional comic writers are.
Nachro97
There are other things to idolize Harley Quinn for, like her overcoming her abusive relationship with Joker
palmo
She's actually kinda a survivor of abuse now. She's still psychotic but she's not the same kinda fucked up
SeemsAdequate
She's great when it comes to recognizing your own mental health issues, which she does multiple times.
JayDeeDubs
Modern Harley is a little different, more of an abuse survivor trying to put her life back together
Hammsammiches
What!? She's such a healthy role model for women. Such a healthy relationship she has with her lover.
Helixninja333
The Quinn/Ivy duo on the other hand... Man I hope they do more episodes.
Golgothanworm
On that note neither is the Batman
Nobody7713
Batman's a tragic figure, ultimately. He's someone who couldn't move past his grief and it's not healthy.
Gayforbae
Eh, once she became an antihero and dumped joker she became better. Sorta an exmaple of how you can pull yourself out of a toxic >
Gayforbae
And allcomauming Relationship, and be better and stronger for it. Maybe not good, but better.
Gayforbae

Darksnider05
I don't think Frank Castle kills people to push a political message he's not a terrorist. A mass murderer and vigilante 100%.
MatthewKennedy90
Ya, more of a serial killer/mass murderer. Like Dexter. Garth Ennis wrote him as a sociopath, even before his family went kaput.
AuraXmaster
He's more of the john wick of marvel
MatthewKennedy90
He is probably worse than John Wick. Or at least more of a compulsive killer than revenge motivated.
Rifneno
This. Frank's not a terrorist because he has no political agenda. Mass murdering? Oh holy SHIT yes. Terrorist? Not technically.
RhamnusiaThePaladin
His political message is: If you are corrupt politician or law enforcement, you better watch your back. Also, we need gun control.
edgareplekjekk
But he does not use terror to achieve this aim. He uses plain old murder.
RhamnusiaThePaladin
I think you are giving real life terrorist too much credit for "creating terror" and politicians profiting (votes & $$$) off selling fear.
JarodJackson
This seems like a fine line to draw. There are probably a bunch of mobsters who quit off-panel for fearing of being murdered.
edgareplekjekk
But his intention is to specifically punish/kill those criminals he gets his hands on. Not to scare third parties into behaving.
Weentit
I suppose mass murdering criminals would send some sort of adjective into the hearts of murderous criminals..would you say maybe terror?
Weentit
and to those innocent civilians who don't understand what punisher does or why, would it be safe to say they may experience some, terror?
Weentit
a mass murderer is loose, shooting up the streets, does that not exude a sort of terror in your heart. gunshots are gunshots, they scary
Darksnider05
It being scary doesn't make it terrorism, you'd have to really make a statement to who your trying to scare. Like a burning cross.
