    “NO COPS ALLOWED. That’s the confirmed policy of the bakery chain Reem’s,” the union said in its post. “One of our officers was denied service last weekend because he was in uniform. Reem’s confirms that they will not serve anyone armed and in uniform. Presumably, this includes members of the US Military.”

    That is the response of the police union via twitter or whatever.

    They seem to think that cops == soldiers.

    Which is gross as cops are civilians and soldiers are not. Soldiers understand trigger discipline and cops do not.

      Correct. I’ve served in three wars and am a disabled vet for it. Cops keep saying they kill because they are scared and the public and courts accepts it. My 18 year old soldiers were scared to walk down the streets in Iraq, surrounded by a populace caring ak-47’s and having terrible trigger discipline. My soldiers didn’t randomly kill people though. Being a cop is easy. Don’t let them tell you otherwise. They are fat from inactivity and kill when they have a built in excuse.

      Americans are allowed to have guns. Thinking someone has a gun isn’t even a good enough reason to kill, but they do it all the time.

      ACAB.

      The false equivalency is staggering. Cops are the little removed who wouldn’t enlist cus they would “knock out the DI”.

        I’m a veteran and a protester who did arrest his occasionally. It’s amazing how proud of them so they are for violating the constitution.

        My current argument is that they used a drug dog to search my car which has never had drugs in or near it. Apparently the fourth amendment doesn’t exist anywhere in America if they can get an animal to sit.

      Fuck the military too. Arguably they’re worse than cops, the fact that they only murder people in other countries doesn’t give them a pass.

        I was a soldier and I hear you loud and clear.

        I wish some wars I was in were honorably defending my country instead of being in Iraq and Afghanistan and gathering the intelligence that allowed soldiers to go shoot the poorly equipped group of people who were mad at us for invading and torturing and killing their family members constantly.

        TORTURE was used and defended by Bush lawyers.

        It’s not the military that is the problem, but our politicians who control it.
