I've had these kinds of conversations with military veterans before, actually. It's surprising how libertarian-leaning veterans are. I'm not sure why but I would trust veterans or even active duty military over cops any day.
Cops shoot dogs, taze people for fun, pretend to be badasses, and then go home to their families every night. It's the perfect profession for a bully. But serving in the military sucks, they do a better job screening out the psychopaths, and once you've been in combat once or twice you tend to take the whole organized violence thing a little more seriously.
