Gotta do something about that mindset, eh? It has been perverted from military lingo but has no application in civilian service...a policemans job is not the same as a soldiers, soldiers kills the enemy before they enemy can kill them, police are to "protect and serve", going home alive is a bonus, but it is not the number one reason to be a policeman!
I still say, gotta be a reckoning within the LEO ranks...either the mindless statist lackeys win or liberty-loving constitutionalists win. There is no compromise.

It used to be understood that the job inherently came with a level of danger precisely because of that fact that a policeman is not supposed to have an aggressive posture at all times. In other words he may have to approach some people who are almost certainly hoodlums but can't just go in gun drawn already. That might put the policeman at a tactical disadvantage if the hoodlum did something, but that was considered one of the inherent dangers in the job.
Oh well. Those days are long gone. They act like armies of occupation now, so they shouldn't be surprised when the citizenry starts acting like partisans.
