You get heretic status for not agreeing with certain fevered minds that "NOT COPS ARE BAD" as you can see by reading their posts.

The problem I personally see with cops, is that they compare what they do, to what I did. Their "beat" is no different than a tour in Afghanistan. Which is pure bullshit. From a Veteran's perspective they're a bunch of wannabes. But wannabes packing more firepower than their training is capable of handling.
If I fucked up and shot the wrong person, or failed in some other task that took somebody's life, I would be tried under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). The Police should be subject to the same, but are not. When they fuck up, they get to go to the softer civilian court.
They've forgotten their job description, and it's costing american lives.

Hellfire missiles, B-52s, UACs, etc., right? Not just a rifle with a reflex kicking "designation", but M1A2?
If you compare the cop on the beat with the men on the pointy end of the stick in Afghanistan I can't put much credibility into your statements.

I would like to see some vet come on TV and laugh at cops saying they were afraid of someone holding a screwdriver.

However, I'm not the one drawing the comparison. And no, not much credibility is deserved.

You put it forward without attribution, so I thought you were owning.

Actually, an ex-Marine and ex-cop from Baltimore, Michael Wood, made just that comparison:
From "The Young Turks" program, with Cenk Uygur.

(He was also a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.)

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
