"do not allow any ex-military personnel to join the police force until they’ve been successfully integrated into civilian life for ten years.

Oh really? Nice gratuitous slap in the face of your country's veterans, my draft-dodging friend. The problem with our law enforcement agencies isn't from veterans - we have proper training in the safe use of firearms and more than enough experience with difficult rules of engagement. The problem is with all of these imitation commandos running around with M-16s and flak vests and zero time in the services.

Love you guys with the "support our men and women in uniform" stickers but oh so quick with the sneaky stab in the back at every opportunity.

You said it. I wish more vets were cops. We probably wouldn't have nearly so many problems if that was so. One of my former Soldiers is now a cop in AL, and he's got a good head on his shoulders. Most importantly, he's not scared to death of anyone/everyone around him and acts accordingly.
