Actually, cops are civilians. They are not part of the military and they technically have no more rights than you or I. You & I have just as much ability to enforce the law.
Or maybe I missed the part about LE being a separate branch in the Constitution.
I'm not sure what you're citing here but it's very far from accurate.
What part is inaccurate? If they aren't civilians are they military? Royalty?
Nope. You can cite a cop for breaking the law too. The executive branch is civilian.
There basically was no LE until about 1850. You had ATF collecting taxes earlier and sheriffs, but that's about it.
