        Can't believe that you're erasing the CIA goons that got too brain ray gunned to qualify for the Minority Report Tanks 🙄

      That was when they were inbetween jobs, isn't the usual retirement pipeline Blackwater et al. for the operators and manufacturing consent for the analysts? Working as police was most likely a refreshing change of pace, getting your hands dirty committing atrocities instead of just planning and reporting on/propagandizing them. Not every desk jockey can make the cut for spec-ops and committing murder abroad, but working for the police doesn't have such strict requirements (for the reporting/committing murder just as much as getting hired).
