It actually goes way back to the 80s and 90s when Punisher comics took off. It wasn't as common as you see today, but the Punisher skull was on lunchboxes and tee shirts and tattoos and rifle cases. We didn't have social media back then, though, so the cops kept their shared psychotic fantasies about unrepentant murder well hidden.
