Black soldier feels safer on post because MPs aren’t real cops

Huh? You know Duffle blog is military satire right?

SGT Gregory Cole - Just like civilian cops: You hate us, until you need us!

SSG Angela Koch unfortunately it seems that in my neck of the woods, the cops are not out enforcing certain laws as much as they should or used to do. Sucks because now bungholes will do 50 in a 30 all day long and johnny law doesnt stop it. Besides, everything else I can probably handle. Just need people to document what happened ;-)

SGT Cole, make the call to PMO if you are on military base and that may help. It could also be that the MP's you seen are not radar qualified, thus no tickets for speeding. I ran radar at Hood and out on a range road would give up to 10 over a break and flash my lights and they usually slowed down. Hope you find a way.

PO1 Tony Holland So you obviously got my point. You are more than just an MOS identifier. What you do is valuable to the military. Before I got into law enforcement after ETSing I built the first mobile telephone service center on the West Coast from the ground up and personally did component level replacement of SMC's. That was when mobile telephone still mounted under the seat or in the trunk and had a control cable that came up to a cradle holding the handset. I fixed my first TV set at the age of 12. Prior to that I was an activist W well listening to shortwave radio around the globe. As an amateur extra class operator I'm quite versed in electronics repair and actually appreciate what you do.

But in the moment it seemed the only way to get you to see my point of view was to shut you down a bit. I'm sure you are very good at what you do. The military ET's are not that way anymore. It's board-level replacement.

I'm sure your skill-set has done well for you. Mine did well for me when I went to work for the third largest Police Department in the United States. I learned those skills in part by working several high-crime installations. We were not just ticket writers. We did not just do gate duty. Both proactively and reactively we responded to threats concerning military personnel. Since we had housing areas that were not physically attached to Fort Hood that often times meant dealing with civilians. Let's face it, even if it says Military Police on the side of the patrol car the red and blue lights and siren made it clear that you're coming through. The same applied to our firefighters. They would be disheartening to hear that they weren't real firefighters because there weren't that many fires on post. The same with the Medics that would respond that would be disheartened if they were just called ambulance drivers. Ya feeling me?

Fort Hood is obviously not Chicago. Although there are gangs the issue of carrying weapons isn't the same as Chicago and it's an unfair comparison.

I know what duffel blog is and that was nothing but a cold-hearted slam. We know that many service members don't like military police any more than they like civilian police. But here's something to think about. Army military policeman or combat support and when there's suddenly becomes a hole in your perimeter and you're getting your ass kicked it's the MPS that roll in and fill in the holes. We are just as well trained in as Warriors. In combat or back on the post we are the front line to your family's safety.

Brother you must be new to the interwebz duffle blog gets dudes riled up all the time. But it’s 100% a joke

SSG (Join to see) no, I'm not new to the interweb. At this point in life I own a web hosting company. I spent the majority of my day on the internet. This one just hit a nerve. I didn't find any humor in it at all. I'm right where to Los Angeles County deputy sheriff's we're ambushed. As a military policeman I was assigned to some very active duty post as far as crime goes as well as to some sensitive investigations. I just didn't appreciate what I read. I saw it as a 2020 hit piece against just another version of a police officer. Oh wait. We're not real police officers. Tell that to the military policeman it went into the domestic violence calls last night and ended up leaving with Mom or Dad. Tell that to the unit that responded to a head-on traffic collision with the driver a both vehicles deceased. If I saw duffel blogs taking shots at other MOS's it might be different.

They do though, DB rags on literally everyone, I think they bashed Gen Amos when he was commandant as well and they did a slam on Justin beiber at one point.
