Is it more difficult to start working in law enforcement without a military background? It seems to me that the majority of the officers I have met are veterans and I just wanted to know If being a veteran had any advantages in pursuing a career in law enforcement (aside from combat training experience).
Edit: Also, although I'm unaware of the circumstances that lead to this incident, there was something of a scandal recently in my home state of CT surrounding police brutality. What is your professional opinion of the conduct of the officers in this video?
