You didn’t get the memo? It is LE’s job to enforce the law, but not necessarily obey the law.
It is your job to obey the law, and pay all associated costs, benefits, and pensions at 20 years.
In reality why aren’t the standards for LE and other public servants much more stringent and higher than average citizens who pay the freight?
They should be equal if not more stringent. Right now it seems like they are using the resident Soetoro rules - do what you want.
Apologies to the good LEOs I’ve met and worked with.
