Why do cops want to look like the military and want military "toys"?
Probably because close to half of the cops that I know are guys with a military background who couldn't hack a career in the military, so they join a police force and act like GI Joe.
I'm not throwing LEO's under the bus with that statement. I know MANY LEO's and like most of them. Quite a few of them however want to be a Navy seal or Green Beret so they do everything they can to dress and act like they are one.
