    That propublica piece on that guy that infiltrated 3%ers showed militia actively recruiting police and people in power.

      While this is true, that didn’t answer @[email protected]’s question.

      From what I was able to find, it seems that about 25 percent of law enforcement is former military according to this source. However, I am not sure if that means people higher up in the ranks or how much of them actually patrol and are out in the field.

        Yeah EOD, specialists, and others going to work in a police or sheriff’s department would count even if their jobs are specialized enough you may not consider them cops in a traditional sense.
