Good luck buddy. On Free Republic the Military can do no wrong but the cops are all Jack Booted Thugs.
Very noticeable.
Somewhat odd when you recognize the obvious fact that there is a great deal of overlap between the personality types who become cops and who enter the military.
You can make a good case that both occupations are essentially the same, or should be. The military defends society against foreign enemies, while the police defend it against domestic enemies.
Some in both groups are or become crooks, as with any other occupational groups. Cops in particular obviously have a great deal more opportunity to get involved in crooked activity than the average person.
