Yep…..not soldiers at all.

Cops not equal to soldiers? I don’t know….anyone ever seen a SWAT team go into a house after a low level pot dealer? Kind of looks like a squad of infantry clearing a bunker or trench – weaponry is about the same, body armor is about the same, tactics are about the same. About the only difference is the grenades are toned down slightly – flash bang versus fragmentation – that means they have a ~1/2 meter kill radius (by blast, if they happen to toss it onto the bed or couch near your head where you’re asleep) instead of 10 meter or so radius with the frags. Of course, the cops will slaughter your dog with their dum dum bullets (hollow points, to use the technical non-inflammatory name for expanding bullets) while a real soldier is only allowed to use full jacketed, non-expanding bullets.

If it quacks like a duck, flies like a duck, waddles like a duck, it is probably a duck.

A ‘battle’ eh. I wonder if seeing this process of justice as a battle is how we have ended up with Prosecutors like this.

If Saturday Night Live was around, I would have enjoyed seeing them do her press conference after the verdict when she declared victory and kept grabbing the mic for more.

But… the idea of firing a prosecutor for saying something like that after the battle they just had is ridiculous. Let’s loosen up a bit and not have standards for our friends and standards for our foes.
