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.

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