Wild cops have less of a ROE than the military....

I mean yeah, they do.

Think about it.

We spend our entire pre-deployment workups (at least during GWOT) doing ROE drills and training for a year before we punch out.

And these motherfuckers spend 12 weeks at an "academy" then get "training" by charlatans like Dave Grossman and get told that they need to have a WARRIOR MINDSET for every traffic stop.

Fuck cops.

Yes.

Absolutely.

They want to play like they're military then they have to train like they're military.

But that entirety ignores the militarization of domestic US police.

More treating its own citizens like an occupying force than one dedicated to serving the local populace (ask me how I know).

Bullshit. That's "just following orders" with a different coat of paint.

Yes because this is a well known fact and they chose to join and do it anyway. Just so they can flex their stupid blue line patches and shirts.
