Machismo, now there's a truly winning quality in policemen. Let's definitely encourage it as much as possible. Sure lets me know I'm in safe hands when I'm dealing with a man whose greatest fear is having to wear a Hello Kitty armband because he littered. But since Sanrio probably wants to keep one of its bestselling icons from being associated with shame in any capacity, I wouldn't be surprised if they sued.

Don't take my word for it though...I have a Hello Kitty clock.
