Florida FHP ORF Troopers

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

We had some action at UCF in Gainesville today because of a "White Nationalist" Spencer and these guys showed up providing security and wearing FHP shirts with the words ORF Trooper on the sleeves. Their "uniforms" are pretty odd in context of what is happening.

What the heck is the ORF?

That his private security force?

Correction QRF Troopers

That is his private security force.

Are you sure? They appear to have Florida Highway Patrol emblems on the front of the shirt. Also I see what appears to be a Harris SLERS radio on ones belt. I will agree in the video, they behaved like they were providing him security.

The sleeves actually appear to say QRF Trooper

This is what is stenciled on the front.

Well on closer inspection, the shirts say "QRF" not "ORF" and a search reveals that FHP has a Quick Response (Reaction?) Force.

The color of the uniforms and the boots (Doc Martens?) seem a bit ill advised for this venue. But this is FloriWeird and there is some bad history.

Yep, you guys are right. It was hard to tell in that photo. I expected State Troopers to look more professional, dress uniform, stetsons, etc.

Spencer tried to have a rally at The Ohio State University and they put a stop to it.

Their uniforms are tan, not brown.

You do realize NJSP uniforms are literally modeled on german pre-ww2 style, right?

Yikes; indeed they are

Why would you want your nice uniform on when you might get your *** kicked or kick someone else's ***?
