Awesome footage of police doing their job

I thought the rule was Never point your gun at someone unless you intend to kill, he should at the very least lose his privilege to carry and be assigned to a desk job.

It use to be that people in the military would migrate into law enforcement jobs after their tours due to their discipline training in the military. That does not appear to be happening as much these days.

Or they are multiple tour vets with PTSD.

Actually that is the problem these days most are ex military

I hear this a lot and it doesn't make sense to me. The military rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq are more strict that police use of force rules in the U.S.

If anything, I'd expect the ex-mil to come in to law enforcement with much greater discipline than the non-ex-mil cops. There are studies that seem to confirm this. The disciplined/patient cop in the linked article got fired for not shooting someone and instead trying to deescalate. The article also talks about studies that show ex-mil cops have more patience and discipline when it comes to using force.

Where do you think your "the problem is ex military" thing come from? Anecdotes? Educated guess? Who might stand to gain from this line of thinking?

Every and I mean every weird psycho bully person I know who survives in the days to day of life has been ex military mostly marine. And not saying all are just a few who continues to want to fuck with people of can't get a job anywhere else. Most are GW 1 and 2 vets. Hey you were in the military oh lets give you a job then because its exactly the same. NOT.
