If vindman or mattis pulled their shit in a time of war they would have been shot, after a summary CM, of course. Law enforcement in the cities are led by absolute frothing lunatics hellbent on total control of the masses, the cops don't need these sociopaths taking a personal vengeance upon them, so they reluctantly follow orders and show results. I'm not saying it's perfect either way, of course there are psychos all around us but it really isn't a fair comparison. Trust the troops. Volunteers all. That know they could be asked to pay the ultimate price.
