In war time, you know who the enemy is. Cops don’t have that benefit.
No. You don't. And you are STILL not allowed to act like that.
Cops dont have that benefit.
So cops are allowed to see everyone not currently on duty as a police officer as a threat yet the military in combat is able to distinguish between combatant and noncombatant.
Do you have any idea how insane you sound?
Or perhaps ignorant is the correct word.
Please point out these cuties if they were walking in downtown Bien Hoa the evening before TET '68.
So then they should view everyone as their enemy?
BWAHAHAHAHahahahahahaha!!! I bet you actually believe that ...
Cops dont have that benefit.
Their "enemy" is most certainly NOT "We, the People". If they can't figure that out, they need to take off their uniforms, turn in their badges, and find another line of work.
They work for US. Deal with it.
Bullshit.
In Iraq the enemy could have been just about anyone - and at times it was.
They didn’t give us the courtesy of wearing uniforms or anything and they weren’t limited to “men of fighting age”.
At any given time, the enemy was “someone other than us.”
And somehow we didn’t manage to cap off innocent people as often as cops seem to here in the states.
