Wow. How refreshing. That is a point that seems to be dang near impossible to convey. My MOS was combat MP for several years, at least that was the official story. Our CO was Vietnam vet Ranger qualified Special Forces and buddy that is exactly how we trained. But I am veering from the issue.
The experience gained with that MOS gave me great insight as to just how screwy almost all PD’s really are. Mostly they are adrift is a sea of self-aggrandizement fueled by media’s cop worship. I see civilian police doing things on a daily basis that NEVER would fly with us. Blatant rights violations, corruption, prisoner abuse, etc, is seems to just go on and on. Like you say, there is no excuse. Makes me think of the wisdom of public stocks.
