The vast majority of new hire policemen are from the military.

This is just a fact. It wasn’t always that way as most returning veterans were drafted and wanted to get on with their lives as they envisioned them prior to being called up. We’ve turned a dangerous corner lately though, and recently returned veterans who’ve been discharged find their friendly local police organization the best place for a job.

The problem is that the police have become a quasi military organization, including the titular nomenclature.

I built a police academy in south Georgia and I am certain of what I am saying. Just north of Brunswick GA is the FLETCH of which I was the architect and general contractor.

LEO’s hire ex military in far disproportionate numbers as they are the easiest to train for the current purposes.

Can you even imagine the LEO’s doing a face down take down on the 50s, what’s going on is preposterous, and there’s no excuse. Give me another Irish immigration, where patrolman O’Malley gave us the hand on the shoulder.

I’m sorry but my wife just added that they are all shaved headed, Darth Vader dressed, Nazi pinheads.

She’s damed accurate.

You designed a police academy building and had it funded. I don't see the relevance to your claim, although it appears that you might have some resources to further influence laws and policies. I see that you're in Georgia, though. My father saw some unpatriotic attitudes in business in that part of our country, when he was an infantry soldier during the early 1950s.

Anyway, go ahead. Meanwhile, I'll tell clean-cut, young men that the service might not be a good option for now. There have been too many negative assumptions about men of prior enlisted combat specialties from quite a few political constituencies and offices in politics. It might also be a good idea to keep more quiet about my prior service in business and political circles. Should have done so long ago.

Our nation is an immoral mess. We need new leadership in business, politics and academia. The opportunity will come soon after the other end of the current default process caused by political correctness and lack of manufacturing--generally, the feminization of our nation.

"Give me another Irish immigration,"

That was a big part of the problem, and I'm part Irish. Not any part Italian, though, so I guess other Irish folks wouldn't let me tell them how to think and live. I'm also descended from nearly 400 years of other Americans (Puritans, Norman Huguenots, Dutch, all...even some Sephardim). Maybe that larger part of my heritage was more of an influence.
