"So it is ok it they protect your sorry a$$ here at home by being military police rounding up errant GIs but they can't be "regular" police!"

Regular police interact with the citizenry. Military police do not. Don't you think that is an important difference? Military society is an extraordinary exception; it's a system kept apart from regular society for a good reason.

As a citizen, it would seem offensive to have the law enforced by a person who is not a full member of our society...a person that cannot vote and has not pledged an oath of allegiance to our country.

NO!

I am married to a Russian. That Russian has two children. Both children are Russian citizens (ages 18 and 20) and have volunteered for the U.S.Army! The mother has completed and received her concealed carry license from the State of Texas. Any of them could be a regular police officer in these United States. They are totally dedicated to the U.S. They have gone through all the hoops to get their "permanent residency". The fact that they have not yet been allowed to get their U.S. citizenship is not their fault.
