yeah. A good quote from Adama, but that only applies to the US. In many places around the world the police and military are the same.

Nowhere in any western country, Heck, I've visited a bit of Africa and tons of south east Asia and a bit of South America and this ain't true neither for any of countries I visited.

Brazil, the more extensive police work like patrols and crime prevention is usually done by military police.

Crime investigation is part of civilian police.

But most polpulation have contact only with military police. IS no coincident they look like this in Brazil: https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryPorn/comments/10r02yp/black...
