Cops have an even greater distaste for vets who were in Airborne or SOCOM units, they must picture them as loose cannons. Guys who were Paratroopers, or Rangers or SF, inspire fear, and aversion. That is a personal belief of mine, and I think that it runs through general society. Most people will never think about joining the Army, much less the 75th Rangers, or the 82nd.Originally Posted by juskom95

It is not universal, but it does seem to be a growing trend unfortunately.
I've started avoiding interaction with LEO's, or not letting them know I'm a vet until I get to know them better.

That is a smart move on your part, since you will be judged as a nut, or something. I don't know what has happened in America, but it is bad news. When a man who has honorably served is deemed a potential threat, it is sign that America has gone down the wrong road, and there is worse to come.

In my opinion, and it aint worth much, my sidearm would have come out as soon as he pulled the knife. Wifes sidearm would come out too, as she paced sideways to take a flanking position. Kids run home and call police.

One thing that helps, I have a CCTV system up and know its sight-lines. So if that were to happen, I would make sure the incident were all recorded.

The rude cop was not young, although all of the other cops there were young ( 25 at most)
On sb , someone asked if he was " the big guy"
- he was the big guy
Dealing with cops in the past, I have found it hit or miss on whether they give vets crap.
I worked for catholic charities and a homeless veterans program for a number of years, and have witnessed cops getting overly aggressive with veterans on more than one occasion.
Seems some of them are just convinced that all vets are a threat and get " agitated easily"- or some bs
Personally I haven't really experienced it, the only time I've ever had issues about being a veteran was when some dbag San Diego cop accused me of being a liar and said I was not a veteran and yelled at me about stolen valor until I showed the responding backup my VA card that says " service connected"

The "Rambo Phenomenon," maybe? Everyone has seen how veterans are perceived in Hollywood.

Get cc insurance and a permit to carry. Your going to need both with jackasses like that on your police force.
