Would I be wrong in assuming that perhaps trained military personnel may be easier to deal with and more level headed than some plastic policeman with a weekend certificate in security and law enforcement?

Just putting it out there. It could be better than the alternative.



In Geneva(Switzerland) they tried to use military at protests some 20-30 years ago. Some people were killed, thing is military are trained to kill if they are being attacked.

As far as I know they haven't used military personnel after that...


Good point. Didn't think about that.

I just feel like my order of trust (for law enforcers) goes something like this:

1) Military personnel 2) Police 3) * 4) Private security

* In general I trust anything or anyone over private security.


They should have just given it to the army; well trained, competent and reliable.

Budget half as much to give the service personnel nice bonuses.

Sorted.
