“Not according to their training, their uniform, their badge or the rules that they are SUPPOSED to operate under.”
And thats the problem I have with them, the militarization of the police force.
Andy Griffith wouldn’t last two seconds in todays society. I don’t like it but it is a sad fact of life.
I agree. If you have cops carry military style gear and have military style haircuts, what do you expect them to act like? From what I have read in the past few months, they appear to have more robust ROE than the real military does in Afghanistan. These guys would already be locked up if they were in the Army and did this to some Taliban villager.
