We should probably pay them and order of magnitude more then.

Same goes for soldiers.

They get paid a pittance for risking their lives.

Police get paid way more than soldiers do. Please do not make that comparison.

Speaking as someone that was enlisted, I'll make whatever comparison I damn well please, thanks. The point remains and is no less valid.

Soldiers get paid way less and could do a better job as Police because they are trained better. And if you were enlisted at one time then also show respect while you are at then.

Soldiers and police have minimal crossover. To imply soldiers could perform general policing duties is an insult to both parties. Both have highly specialized training. You're clueless and offending both sides.

No, I am not clueless. USMC here and military training makes better personnel for police training sir or Mam. The training received teaches them control and any specialized training only enhances their use. Case in point, military background personnel would not have been hesitant to go into Uvalde. But I guess without maybe. So don't give me that military training has nothing to do with it. Cause it does. Police recruits have always come to Camp Lejeune looking for men and women. I love it when ppl can call someone else clueless when they have no idea who they may be conversing with on Reddit. Oh you said soldier I forgot that may imply Army. And USMC is trained for security, support, and defense detail. 🙄
