    The world is a dangerous place, at least if you’re in the U.S. The proliferation of “Warrior Mindset” policing in the U.S. follows the proliferation of personal firearms.

        I ran with a rough crowd too, I knew guys who had guns but nobody ever went and fetched them in anger, they were for serious business. if you just rolled around with heat you were asking for a jail term because you got pulled over for failure to indicate and a cop got nosey.

        Punches to the face tho, saw those alot.

    that’s an odd use of the word “accordingly”. you don’t get to select a response that is an arbitrary overreaction and then treat it as normal.

    even if the world is a violent place, there are other ways to deal with it. at least that’s the case for humans and their power of thought.

    but yeah, if the counterargument is that the people that underwent this training were either not human or not capable of thought…
