Proficient? The last thing i want is a proficient LEO helping me, I want a WELL TRAINIED one besides being a MP is not even close to being a Civi LEO. The side of a cop car reads "To protect and serve" protect and serve who? not me i cant count on them to protect me if i could i wouldnt need my guns.
It seems to me that you are defending civi LEO's but i dont see them doing the worlds policing, I look around and i see SOLDIERS and Marines doing the same work the civi LEO's do and for half the pay and half the gear.
Id feel alot better about Law enforcement IF they were military.
Profficient, in the military I served in, and in my current occupation, means "well trained and capable of operating without supervision."
The side of my agencies patrol cars do not read "To Protect and Serve" and that old saw is widely misunderstood.
As has been pointed out to you before, the function of the police is not to protect you so you would not need your guns. You, and you alone, are responsible for your personal safety. That is how it is *supposed* to work.
The only reason you are supposed to need me is for when the shit gets WAY out of hand.
The military does not perform the function civilian police do, anywhere in the world. You are confusing "police action" with policing. Having performed in both capacities, I can assure you this is truth.
Don't believe me? Ask a Marine what "reasonable suspicion" and "probable cause" mean on the streets of Iraq.
You sir, have a bias. So do I. I am working on mine - will you work on yours?
We are on the same team, Marine. Peace.
