Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro has de­scribed the pub­lic nar­ra­tive around a Pun­ish­er patch on his arm as trou­bling and dis­tract­ing.

Dur­ing the an­nounce­ment of a State of Emer­gency (SoE) last Fri­day at Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, the Pun­ish­er patch was ob­served pinned on the right arm of the CoP’s uni­form.

The top cop ex­plained then that the patch, de­pict­ing a skull, was pre­sent­ed to him dur­ing a mul­ti-agency in­ter­na­tion­al op­er­a­tion. He said it was a tra­di­tion of law en­force­ment to wear it.
