Uh.
Sorry buddy. Your wishful thinking is irrelevant.
A paramilitary is a semi-militarized force whose organizational structure, tactics, training, subculture, and (often) function are similar to those of a professional military, and which is not included as part of a state's formal armed forces.Urban legends are a poor basis for making public policy.Comment

Who is wishing? Not me. Our police are civilian, 100%.
Sorry to ruin your day if you are LEO. Alternatively, if you prefer to be subservient to military justice on a daily basis for some other perverted reason, sorry to hear about that too.
Civilian. Police. Force. The paramilitary wanna-be types can kiss my civil behind.
MPs are military police.
The militia is a paramilitary force.
The police are civilians.Comment

Cough, cough.
Anywho, as far as blowing up the Dallas sniper, I've got zero problems with it. The police tried to negotiate, bad guy didn't surrender, no need to put more officers in jeopardy. Boom.

Don't bring a gun to a bomb fight. F%$*k that guy. A slow blow torch session would have been better, but a bomb worked just fine.Knives don't stab people, cars don't drive drunk, eating utensils don't make you fat and pencils don't mis-spell words.Comment

I'm not angry.
If you really don't care though, why would you feel the need to say so?Comment

No. Not angry. But definitely ignorant. You realize that the firefighting profession is described as being "paramilitary", right?Urban legends are a poor basis for making public policy.Comment

I know that they think they are and they like the state funerals and all the pomp and circumstance, but they are not paramilitary.
Why the name-calling? Am I goring your ox by using the term "civilian law enforcement"? Why is that upsetting you?
On topic, because this "cops are paramilitary" mindset is why cops should not be allowed to have bombs or military eqipment. That's what the National Guard is for. Military stuff with mitary equipment.Last edited by God Bless America; 07-14-2016, 5:59 PM.Comment

It isn't name calling to label ignorance for what it is. Do you think ANYONE likes "state funerals"? Have you ever attended one?
Please indulge me by listing your training and experience which gives you the wisdom to decide what cops "should not be allowed to have."
Since you like to talk about the National Guard, you probably aren't aware of the fact at most Guardsmen and Reservists rarely possess any sort of live weaponry except during range qualification, annual training, or deployments.
The idea of calling the "National Guard" to respond to an active shooter or act of terrorism is beyond ignorance because the logistical and legal considerations of deploying the military on U.S. soil would likely take days to ramp up.
But hey! It is a free country and you have the right to express your opinion, regardless of the fact that it is a steaming dung heap of ill informed nonsense.Comment

Nice to see how LEO reacts to those who do not buy into the LEO v. civilian mindset.
It is not LEO versus us. LEO are us.
That's why no bombs for you. You have lost your perspective.Comment
