I don't think the stats bear this out. I've heard that police who were in the military first are actually better on use of force than the wannabes. I'll see if I can find a reference.

EDIT: Digging a bit, it appears that 1) there isn't a lot of research and 2) results are mixed at best. Here are a few samples:

1 mm of hard rubber on a steel slug doesn't soften it up very much.

More danger for less pay. I'd rather be shot to death than burned to death.

I'm comfortable but I keep my house run down to avoid the interest of burglars. The joys of having no HOA.

Of course when they shoot bullets off hand, they'll go everywhere. Not they don't do the same when most cops shoot on hand.

It's totally distinguishable. Instantly. Anyone who claims they screwed that up is lying.

Never understood how cops could run with all that crap. Then I found out about cops and steroids.

It's more of a lumber-jog than a run

Just got back from the "average cop salary" website, and wouldn't you know it-- The great state a' Missussipah has the lowest salary @ 37G's a year. They just shorely looove law 'n forcement down theah. I'll let y'all guess who has the highest salary- can't guess? The commie hellhole of California! Coming in @ 75 large.
