Do they have a pissed off SGM yelling at them over one nose hair being out of regulation and forcing flutter kicks?

most cops don't think they are as they refer to citizens as civilians.

Cops are our first line of warriors that defend us from all things dangerous. I welcome them as my new overlords.

In this country they are.
In some countries they have a branch of the military that acts as a police force. In France, for instance, there was a famous unit of heavy cavalry that after the French Revolution stepped in and acted as a police force. Later, they were made both formally part of the army but given police duties. The French term for this is Gendarmerie. Many other counties (especially ex French colonies) have adopted the same form and name. BUT...in the USA, they are civilians. Edit to ad: Easy way to tell...follow the chain of command all the way up. If the top person is elected, or is appointed (or serves at the pleasure of) an elected official OTHER THAN the president of the country, that person is civilian. If the chain of command leads to a department of the (military branch) or ministry of defense, then it is non-civilian. |

Per the dictionary, no.
Per GD, yes. Reality? Most cops are civilians, but many cops are not (unless you consder military reserve officers and NCO's to be "civilians") |
