What a Police Officer or Army Officer Feels?

I personally have never had that happen before but i know that when it happens to people who are officers rather in the military or civilian, they dont like to talk about the losses. They try to see the good in every situation. Being an MP in the military, we have to learn to trust each other and since we work with each other everyday we all tend to become like a big family, and when you loose a family member no matter how close you are to them, it hurts. It's like if you were a kid and you had a puppy that your parents gave to you and you loved it to death. Well, one day it got ran over and how would you feel? You would probably feel let down, and depressed and not want to think about it again after you barried it because it hurt so bad. That's how it is. It's just like asking a solider how many people he killed in a war? Its something you dont do because a true solider doesnt want to admit it. It's not something to keep track of a boast about.

The police department.  They have a tone of them.

I don't know the statistics of how many innocent people actually get killed or hurt by law enforcement. But look at it this way, everyone makes mistakes. Law enforcement officers are just put in a position where a small mistake may cause a life. Just like doctors. They have so much training, yet sometimes things happen and there is nothing you can do about it. And I'm sure the effects on the heart and the conscience of the officer from their mistake weighs more on them than you will ever know.

Hey brother, I'm a cop here in NYC and I know what you're saying. I know sometimes people hate us cuz they feel we abuse our power ( and some of us do - but they eventually get theirs in the end ) but if they experianced what we go through on a daily basis, they'd understand. Not that I'm complaining about the job ( there is no perfect job ), I enjoy helping people and all, but some of you will never, ever believe what we go through. It's gets to be overwhelming and after a while you become numb. But it's a job none the less...a tough job but a job regardless and I never bring anything home or visa-versa. You can't.You'll never survive 20 years if you do. You have to leave it all behind and take the crap the public gives you.Smile and say "Have a nice day."

my dad was a officer, & when I was younger I really had a thing for them, dating several & becoming once engaged. It took awhile for me to realize that they believe that thay are not here to help society but rather an internal brotherhood working for the prosecuter hoping for advancement. I could not help to feel as though i was living in a us & them world where trust was only if you had a connection, further feeling alienated from my friends & family finally having to break it off after he hit me. i don't know if this helps, but i used to wonder the same, yet loved him deeply. all i learned is that having control is very important to them.

MILITARY VS CIVILIAN AUTHORITY \nHOW THE TWO GROUPS TRAINED ARE DIFFERENT \nIT WOULD SUGGEST TO ME THAT MILITARY WOULD BE MORE ORGANIZED  THAN A PD WOULD

Sounds like police brutality to me. What was the purpose of being there for so long ? Police should use enough force to control the subject, any force used after the point of control is called excessive force and is against the law.

The military wants one to fallow orders & the chain of command. Some times they do let them have rounds other than in a war zone.\n\nThe police want you also to think on your feet and as another person said while you carry a weapon and may want to shot John Q Public one has to practice some restrain.

Yes you do have officers out there that are racist. Its sad that you can not even trust the people out there that are supposed to protect you. But if you think about it, everyone is racist in their own little way. Some just do not even notice it. Racism is sad though and we should all look at each other the same way. People are kinda like crayons...\n\nThey come in different shapes, sizes, and colors but we all still have to live in the same box

The closest feeling you could identify with would be how the US felt after the terrorist acts of 9/11.\n\nThe country was angry and looking for their target in Afghanistan.

well it's not all birdies and sunshine I can tell you that much.  There are a lot of nights when you're up into the wee hours, and a lot of mornings when you're up before the sun.  There's a lot of yelling, and a lot of orders that appear to be pointless. You might feel like giving up sometimes because it's not like anything you've dealt with before....\n\nBut the camaraderie that you experience in the Army is like nothing else you can experience in the "civilian" world.  There's a sense of honor and pride that is instilled in you, to where you hold your head up where ever you go.  You are proud of yourself.  You know that you have done something important with your life.\nAnd the people who serve above you, below you and at your side become as irreplaceable as if they were blood.  \nIt's a good life.  One I'm proud to live.\n\n\nAnd trist:...Obviously if you are telling stories that you grandfather told; You're not in the military.  And you're the one that really has no idea what it's like in a combat zone.  Comparing today's warfare to that of WW2 is like comparing apples and freakin' oranges.

Yes i am. I dont care if i am driving down the street and not speeding or doing anything wrong... i still feel like oh my gosh look straight, make sure im not swirving in the least, make sure i am not going even one mile over. i do not know why i am like this but i am. i have been pulled over for a burnt out tailight and i had a panick attack.LOL. im serious though i did. i also got pulled over for speeding and no joke i cried. not to get out of it, i was only 17 and it was the first time i had been pulled over. i think he really felt bad for me so he did let me go but honestly i didnt cry to get out of it im just an emotional person.

Well, first of all, you said it yourself: you don't know what your question is.  Neither do I, but I do have a comment to make.\n\nHow proud you make me to know you feel the way you do about police officers.  However, and I do not say this to hurt you or upset you, I'd encourage you to step back a bit from all this.  Police officers are far from perfect, and it takes very little research to find that police officers have been and will continue to be drug users, child molesters, thieves, murderers, robbers and rapists.  As a general segment of the population, I'm told we do those things much less than most segments, but we do them just like any other group of people.  \n\nHaving said that, one of the other posters here suggested you only need wait until you are 18 to do as you please.  I don't know of any state that you would not be an adult at 18, so bide your time until then and do what your heart and mind tell you you should do.\n\nGood luck.  Thank you for all the faith you put in my profession and my brother and sister officers...but please learn to temper it, because we are not perfect or even close to it.

As an Active Duty Officer does he not feel he  violated his code of conduct as an Officer as set down in  the UCMJ for that type of public expression WHILE an Active Duty Officer in the US Military? \n\nIt's called among other things ... Insubordination" .\n\nMilitary personnel DO NOT enjoy certain Civilian Constitutional Rights i.e. Double Jeopardy etc.
