LEO are not military. They are civilians. They are mere citizens like me, like you. No more. No less. The same. No difference.

Can you start digging around in your pocket just because the officer did? Is it unfair that it 's seen as a possible threat to the officer, but not to you? It seems like ya'll WANT to think you have a defense to prosecution if you pull your gun on an officer , or because you shoot an officer, because you "FELT" threatened by the officers actions. The law clearly defines the use of force you may use against an officer.

And by the same token, there are things that a "civilian" can do, that the officer cannot. There are few things in life that are truly "fair", and sometimes that's as it should be.

POLICE OFFICERS ARE CIVILIANS!!!! please stop using that term to indicate non police officers

I've always thought that too.

Need to find an old dictionary. All them new online dictionaries have current use so your posted definition will not state original meaning.

Why find an old dictionary, this is not an OLD conversation, it is a current one..... Not a discussion about what a word USE to mean. It was someone chastising a member for the use of a word TODAY ie currently.. and as you stated, the CURRENT use of the word civilian was properly used.

Civilian is a proper (TODAY) descriptive word to reference non Military, Non Police person.... Like it you may not, change it, you will not. Today that is what the word means. A Police officer is properly described as other than a civilian.

I suppose you like grouping PUBLIC SERVANTS with military and are comfortable with the continued MILITARIZATION of law enforcement. Would you also agree with the progressive CURRENT definition of the second amendment or the ORIGINALS as the founding fathers intended. You can't have it both ways. No I do not have to accept the CURRENT definition just to be politically and tyrannically correct.
