Good article, Airforce. I remember a couple years ago when I went through the police academy, I was one of four former military guys in the class of 25. Close to the end, we did our first aid portion, followed by some TCCC (no sweat there) and Active Shooter Response (ditto). The instructor was on the SO as a tactical medic (Stark County), and was a former Army medic (I suspected Airborne or Ranger). During the shooter response portion, when we were broken up into 4-'officer' teams, I was one of the ringers lol. Anyways, after the class was over, the instructor came up to me, praised my combat skills, and said "When this is over, come over and drop your application off at the sheriff's office. I'm always looking for young hard chargers like you for tactical. It'll be your kind of shit, break glass and kick ass." Well, I did drop my application off, but later found out that the SO stopped hiring due to budgetary problems. In retrospect, I'm glad they weren't hiring.

Also, plenty of anti Tea Party and Patriot crap coming from the instructors.
