You know attorney and police officer are really different jobs, right?

They both have experience in law enforcement. Law enforcement thankfully still includes the court process, not just arresting people.

You realize that police don't think that, right? And other than those attorneys working for Dept of Justice and other agencies with a law enforcement mandate, I don't think many attorneys consider themselves "law enforcement" either.

The local ambulance chaser or deed auditor hardly goes around calling himself "law enforcement".

You seem to have confused experience with title.

It doesn't matter what someone calls themselves when asking what they have experience in.

A deed auditor would tend to think that they have had some experience in the enforcing of the area of law pertaining to deed auditing without ever needing to title themselves as law enforcement.

Police are the problem, what they think is besides the point, they've invalidated their voice and are now the subject of the conversation about what to do about them.
So is the argument that only a police officer can judge this situation?

Because allowing them to do that got us into this paramilitary mess in the first place.
