So quick thing to add to the conversation.
Warrior ethos in military culture. Does that translate into a police officer with military experience?
I know a few (dozen) police officers personally. All of them have military service. By all accounts except for a few that were crappy soldiers and became crappy cops, most are very good at what they do.
Now looking at the US, how many police officers have a military background? I’m sure the percentage is much higher than in Canada.
Is that how this concept of warrior police is creeping into certain police forces?
I would think that having a military background is a plus. Just not all of it.
