    Lucky you. They deemed you physically unscathed enough to serve.

      Like they do more than 90% of males here. ~7% go to civil service.

      “Lucky you”. You Americans and your military fetishes. Exactly what’s the problem here, preventing you from discerning your police from your military or even really knowing the difference.

        Oh, so you aren’t even American? You don’t live in America. So what is your problem with police in Texas? This post specifically addresses police in Texas and the new vehicles they received.

          “You’re not even American, and think you have the right to laugh at the American military-industrial complex?!”

          What’s wrong with an overmilitarised and undereducated police force…?

          What’s wrong with people genuinely not being able to name the difference in roles between the military and the police?

          We can figure this out together, I’m sure.

            I think you should live in America before you make that judgement. You’re only seeing one side of the story in this part of Lemmy. Usually, on the internet, you’re usually only seeing one side of the story, and it’s the side that wants to profit from suing police.

              No, I really don’t.

              What “other side” are you talking about?

              What is the “story” here even?

              That America has a military-industrial complex which results in undereducated police officers with military gear and little to no understanding of the rights they say they’re protecting?

              No, I really don’t nees to live in the US to judge that, just like neither of us needs to live in Gaza to know whether there’s a genocide going on there or whether or not genocide is moral. (Hint: It’s not..)
