Modern police have played far too much Call of Duty. It's absolutely hilarious.

A lot of anti-gun people will say that gun nuts watch too many movies and dream about killing imaginary enemies. And a lot of them definitely do, but I rarely hear the same argument about police, who not only watch the same movies and have the same dreams of being heroes, but use tax money to play these fantasies out. Some towns in the US have APCs for f**k's sake.
funny you should say that, I was watching BSG yesterday and Comm. Adama said that the military serves to fight the enemy and the police serve to protect the citizens, and once you have the military serving as the police, the civilians become the enemy of the state.
They are literally trained to kill and the police are not. In theory and presumably in practice some of this can be trained out of them when they join civilian police forces.
The retards sure are coming out of the wood works on this one. I doubt all police will be issued military rifles.
Not to mention how about checking out some facts on how many people die each year in some of these bigger cities compared to Afghan/Iraq.
O but you think you're so tough that you don't need police. Yet I doubt any one of you bitches would walk down a bad neighborhood alone in the dark. Dumbass, a lot more places would be like that without law, and there would be no laws if there was no one to enforce it.
Bunch of fucking tools, every last one of you. You're all nothing but sheep. If it's cool to hate on it you do. Yet none of you would have the balls to actually do that job even though I already know some of you morons will say you have. But hey it's the internet and I'm Bill Gates.
Tone down the rage, son. Nobody said we don't need police and in general being a police officer doesn't require much courage. These are cops, the huge majority will never see a fire fight. It's a relatively safe job. They are not military, the majority of whom will (these days). Two different beasts; stop confusing military and police. You're part of the problem if you don't know the difference.
