No. A police officer can politely and non-violently deal with a citizen.

As for the military... I've met some Special Forces officers. They were dedicated and crazy-smart (senior NCOs), and I'm happy to pay them to do their jobs, and possibly even call them friends, but they should not be police, and I don't think they would want to be.

I agree. It just seems that police is converting into a wannabe military force because it's cool to wear camouflage, helmets and big guns.
