If someone served in the military, they already proved some abilities which overlap with police.
A psychological screening and a shortened training could work. I mean most soldiers I talked to seemed way WAY more stable than police.
"Poopy mc poop smear" would probably have a hard time in today's military (they had scandals too but learned from them afaik... or at least try. The police is like the opposite way around)
The military (Marines specifically) have an insurrectionist problem though, and they’re ignoring it just like the police largely ignore their metaphorical cross burners.
Some of those who work forces, are the same who burn crosses.
Aren't most (a lot) cops ex military?
Possibly... but if I compare the reactions of the military towards accusations regarding mistreatment of civilians with the reactions of the police, I see a vast difference between 2010 and today (in almost every western military), while the police(s?) has developed backwards in terms of transparency and consequences for their actions.
But maybe that is massively biased due to the "social media war" vs Russia which paints western/ukrainian military almost "woke" as a harsh counter to the homophobe orcs. Idk man, the world is crazy.... GEN-Z should play fortnite, not fight drone wars.
You really don't want the military and the police to mix. The people end up becoming the enemy that way.
