You don't dictate your outfit in the vast majority of military organizations, you just get told where to go and what to do.
This isn't military.
Sure looks like it.
(I know it's not)
Wannabe-military. Just following orders is their speciality
Tell THEM that.
If you don't think the police is a military like organization then idk what to tell ya buddy
The military is often far better trained and disciplined and follow their rules and guidelines and can actually shoot what they aim at and don't mag-dump a random car when a squirrel drops an acorn on it.
You can be a cop with a high-school diploma and a few weeks of training, and it's almost impossible to get booted from the industry once you're in.
Even fewer requirements for ICE and the other goon squads who are cosplaying all over the place right now.
Cosmetologists have more training than a cop, and they require a license from the state.
The military has its own issues but also built its own prison. If you fuck up bad enough you go to Leavenworth for a long stay whereas all these shitbags with hand me down MRAPs get a month of paid leave and the city they work for pays out restitution to people who’ve been horribly wronged while they clock insane overtime and moonlighting checks using the badge for profit.
Police you're looking at police at least ostensively.
Presumably you have an entire brain inside that skull of yours and it would be a shame not to use it
