I work with LE on the local and federal level. Most local cops that are veterans are not combat veterans or never even fired their gun on deployment. Most vet cops are just a door kicker LARP with better ROE than when they were occupying a country.
Are you seriously suggesting that being a veteran only matters if you have seen combat? Plenty of “gangstas” have been in quite literal war zones and have engaged in comat their entire lives...you would rather have that experience back you up than a trained vet who never went to war? When we went to Afghanistan, some of those terrorist fuckers had been fighting for a generation. Would you say they had the upper hand (supporting heavy units aside) on trained but inexperienced soldiers?
I’m not suggesting anything. I’m saying that in my experience, non combat vets who are cops like to LARP door kicker nice and safe on Main Street America.

Your experience is your own, and its awful. I personally havent seen much illegal door kicking of law abiding citizens going on.
