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.

Did one of us misread? Title says fascist murderer like I took it as he kills them.

    I would guess you misread that, it seems like a grammatically unlikely interpretation given the context.

    In the article, the phrase is describing the punisher in light of the police worship of a " lawless, fascist murderer", so I would expect both of those adjectives to be referring to the punisher.

    And I don't think the punisher is known for killing fascists either, although I'm willing to defer to someone who has read any of the comics.
