Its the cops who want so bad to be seen as military. They aren't. They want to think of themselves as a branch of military service. They aren't. They are civilians. Period. Nothing special. Their job is not anywhere near as dangerous as they would have you believe.
It is out of control with LE. This military mindset they have has so many future unintended consequences that are too numerous to list. I saw this coming 20 years ago.
Those of us that have served know what non judicial punishment is. The slaps on the wrist, letters in files, suspensions with/without pay and such is just that. The LE version of non judicial punishment. Shouldn't be that way. If a law is broken, arrest their arse and put them in jail. Period. If they are suspected of a crime, suspend them WITHOUT PAY, investigate and prosecute. Get rid of that immunity *expletive deleted*it and get rid of the *expletive deleted*ing police unions.
No good cops exists today, IMO. If they did exist, they would be leading the charge to get rid of the bad cops.
