    I like ex military as cops. My best friend, Marine, 3 combat tours, was an excellent cop. If you got pulled over with weed or anything minor like that and you had a job and could prove it, he would allow you to throw away the weed, and then be on your way. If you were speeding or had an expired anything and you had a job and could prove it, he would let you go with a warning.

    I was chatting with him the other day and he said there are a bunch of cops out there like that, and a bunch who aren't, and everyone is clamoring for body cams now, and what that is going to do is prevent all these decent cops from letting people off with warnings.

    So the person without a job gets the ticket/fine? I always figured cops pretty much did the exact opposite.

    My concern on that front is that police departments don't screen for PTSD (or if they do, they suck at it). I think we have a huge percent of cops who are former military, men and women who have served more tours than any other generation. On the one hand, they come in more prepared for 1 v 1 confrontation and trained with weapons. OTOH, if they haven't had therapy or gotten help, they can be trigger happy and subject to mental episodes. The cop killers in Dallas and Baton Rouge were both former military.
