Everything else is pretty much the same, well except for the pay of course, and the lower amount of danger for the cops, and newer equipment for the cops, and the fact they get to go home every night.
Heck if the cops shoot someone they get a lawyer paid for and time off with pay. Our troops don’t get that.
