What you are saying suddenly puts a WHOLE lot of what seemed to be a lot of disturbing individual data points into a solid pattern. I'm generally really good at finding patterns, but I now realize that I have had my head in my fourth point of contact for quite some time. I feel like I just earned the dunce cap. LOL
There is a reason that I read a lot here and post very little. The intelligence and experience on this board never fails to astound me.
I feel kind of stupid about having posted now, but I'm glad I did because if I hadn't, you wouldn't have replied and clued me in. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

Please review this thread and you'll get a better understanding of where we come from on this subject. http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ht=Warrior+cop
We have gone from a "Protect and Serve" "Andy Griffith" "Officer Friendly" mentality to a "Special Ops" "Us v. Them" "warrior cop" mentality.
Cops are not soldiers. Posse comitatis makes a distinct line between police and military. Police are blurring that line in the name of officer safety. If you want to feel safe don't take the job. Jn15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
