Problem as I see it...

The fusion of military structures and training procedures in a citizen constabulary inadvertently encourages behavior that may be seen as inappropriate by police officials and the judiciary. Military institutions have a different raison d'être than that of citizen constabularies, and thus a different code of behavior. The result is that citizen constables are continually forced to choose between conflicting traditions in carrying out their duties in any community. When they choose wrong the standing of the police organization may be diminished. Many instances of purportedly inappropriate police behavior result from the application of military rather than citizen policing perspectives.
