This. There is a hiring funnel that leads straight from returning war vets to police, which is why police internally keep the same structure (ranks, tactics, asset control, etc), bookkeeping, etc as our military units.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest ones is 'the men on your left and right is all you have', etc. They call it 'the Thin Blue Line'. It's been a thing for decades. There is no honor among thieves, as the saying goes.

Wrong, the reason they operate like a military force is because they are a military force.
They're fraternal loyalty to each other is especially because they are also a fraternal order, modelled after the Freemasons.

Very true.

Did you see either of my research posts on Voat about the Blue Blood Brotherhood + the Fraternal Order of Police, or my post on the legal origins of police? I actually made a full dossier on everyone involved in the BBB.
Literally only the Sheriff is legal and 'harmonious' with the constitution, and his original role was tax collector. Lol.
I haven't been on Voat in a long time, but that sounds like good work.
