[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2748714, member: 5412"] I don't think the brown shirts of Obama will ever happen. Just won't. Nobody is asking LEO to return to revo's. The issue IMHO is that if LEO got away from the Military issue, and returned to police work instead of quasi military tactics to employ massive firepower and military tactics in situations they might get more respect from the community. We will never get back to the beat cop with a night stick that whupped the kids in the neighborhood while their parents applauded them. Its a different dynamic in the LEO world now. The criminals are well armed, the LEO has to continue to stay ahead of them. Its like an arms race between the US and Russia. I'm on a cross roads on this deal. [/QUOTE]
