People who want to wear badass gear and shoot things should absolutely joint the military. That is the job of the military and I applaud and thank them. The Military has a different job than the police. The founders were smart enough to know the difference.
I did both and wore my badass gear before I got into police work.
Are you suggesting that people who have served their country should not serve their community as well? Officers who want to shoot people don’t do well in police work. Officers who WILL shoot people if necessary have a higher survival rate.
Our military is doing police work in foreign nations right now, against the advice of our founders.
