Why do you want GIs? You want police with military training, tactics, and combat experience? Do you think they would make better decisions? I think we need to back off the militarization of the police. I want the ‘protect and serve’ attitude, not the ‘civilians are the enemy’ attitude.
I was thinking more of older civilians who had been GIs, myself. Not talking about Delta Force or something.
The key in hiring LEOs is a mind exam the equivalent of a full-blown rectal/colonoscopy exam. Ruthless filtering to weed out the power-trip psyche.
Too late Alma. The police are now being equipped and trained in the same infantry tactics that I trained in at Fort Benning Georgia. It smells like an alphabet agency is behind it too, if you catch my drift.
