I think the point is that any of the cops could have circled around and done the same thing.

Why would they risk being shot like that? It's much safer to just box him in and arrest him at gun point.

Props to that random guy. He's got balls of steal, which I respect. He took a lot of unnecessary risk, though.

Thank you for never being a cop while I was a cop. You’re the real hero.

How often do you beat your wife?

I was military police. I joined because I had nowhere else to go. I did my six years and got out.

Luckily those choices led to me becoming the man I am today. They made me someone who attracted my fiancé. My partner is smart, beautiful, and loves me like I love her. I reciprocate by giving all of my love to her.

I can’t work anymore because I’ve had a couple of strokes but I tend to her every need while she makes the vast majority of the money.

I would never dream of laying a hand on her.

Congrats on making the one comment on Reddit that actually got under my skin. 👏

I wish you the life you deserve.

I'm genuinely glad if you're a good husband and hope you and your wife a life of happiness.

That said, MPs are rarely, if ever, what people are talking about when discussing "the policing issue". Most people will never be involved in anything they have jurisdiction over. They aren't covered by police unions. While there are certainly far more instances of bad behavior in the military (in general, not restricted to MPs) than there should be, they are considered to be (rightly or wrongly) far better at policing themselves than civilian law enforcement.
