after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

No he's not. The point is that cops wearing his symbol are fucking idiots. The punisher is a lawless vigilante who hates cops. Cops - an organization created to enforce laws - have no business wearing the symbol of a lawless vigilante, and they're stupid idiots for wearing the symbol of one that hates their whole organization.

He doesn't hate cops. He fully buys the thin blue line bullcrap for "the good ones."

He hates cops that would try to do what he does.

Read Punisher: Max. They did, I think. Works with and likes cops in that one. Very fascist tone.

No doubt cops idolizing the punisher are fascists and idiots, i just think it's a strikingly prominent, inaccurate title and focus for the article.
