Blah blah blah fog of war blah blah blah...Cops ARE NOT MILITARY. There is no comparison.
Cops *WERE* Not Military.
They have many of the same “toys” as our military.
They regularly use military tactics on peaceful civilians.
And they operate under fewer restrictions than our current military.
In a world in which our soldiers have to ask permission before firing back on those firing at them, and “police officers” who fire before determining who, if anyone, is a deadly threat, it’s clear that we have sent a police force overseas, and unleashed a military force in our own cities, towns, and villages.
