California Highway Patrol

"Paramilitary Organization"

http://www.chp.ca.gov/recruiting/applicant_prep.html

"The California Highway Patrol is often referred to as a "paramilitary" department. This is due to the uniforms, ranks and insignias, chain of command, and long-standing traditions of the Department that resemble a military organization. this paramilitary style is especially prevalent throughout Academy training."

^Says it right on there official website.

No wonder they beat this women senseless.

I've never been a fan of my interactions with CHP. I can be polite as possible and they still ticket and condescend. The video above is uncalled for, on their part.

haven't you people learned? shielding your own face to avoid a battering is not basic survival instincts, but rather an act of resistance and disrespect toward the police. you're supposed to place your arms at your sides and allow the arresting officer to pummel your face until he feels relaxed and unthreatened.

Well fck them

when i saw the title of this thread i automatically thought of the tv show CHIPS i constantly watched while a toddler.lol.Oh the fond memories that brings back.

CHP trains its recruits and acts as a paramilitary organization and people wonder why others have a problem giving up there guns.

This is common sense stuff here.

When police have the power to beat the shit outa women in the face, its gone to far.

Anger control issues and being in a position of authority often mix well.
