Veteran members of the military are unfortunately among the biggest victims of the terrifying govt's BS and the wars it dragged us into. I do not hold any scorn for them.

Most of the vets I know are big Ron Paulies. They've seen combat and abhor the system.

policing isn't "any job." it's a position of PAID authority (validity of authority is another debate at another time) and as such should be held to the highest of standards to benefit the population. ...

you're right

accountability all but absent

standards too low

its unacceptable

the state is only justified insofar as it protects life, liberty, and property

that said, I respect the men who attempt to do that.... protect life, liberty, & property

Respectfully disagree

Mostly good service minded individuals in my opinion

I don't expect just any citizen will drive out at 2am to help remove car crash victims from the busy highway
