Some Stats
"There are as of 2006, 683,396 full time state, city, university and college, metropolitan and non-metropolitan county, and other law enforcement officers in the United States. There are approx. 120,000 full time law enforcement personnel working for the federal government adding up to a total number of 800,000 law enforcement personnel in the U.S." -

Knowing that the number of vets includes those who're no longer active duty, guard, or reserve, we have approximately 32 times more of them than there are all current law-enforcement in the U.S.
I looked for more appropriately comparable statistics, but couldn't find any. I can't draw any logical or reasonable conclusions without good data, so why are conclusions being drawn on the lack of good data?
