Search on police training videos. You will see police training is, in reality, military combat training. They are trained to immediately escalate the situation if any threat is detected, and their gun is their “first responder”.
I have watched some of these videos, and it is chilling to see what our civilian police have been transformed to.
If they want to fight a war, enlist. This crap started under Bush II.
I watch my local news every night and read my little local town newspaper and it’s chilling to see what the criminal element has been transformed to.
