This is correct, and it's also the reason why the people deciding what
constitutes a security issue are indeed civilian and not police. Police
are simply the tool that implements these decisions.

The people who decide what consititues a security issue should not =be=
security people, civilian or not. Security peopls should =advise= our
leaders, but should not make the decisions, since it is in their best
interests that everything be a security issue.


Perhaps I need to be a bit clearer on this for certain people.

When I say "civilian", I mean the following; which should be obvious to a
teacher :-)
These decisions ARE made by civilian leaders at the highest level of ELECTED
GOVERNMENT. These leaders consult with ALL the necessary specialists in the
field, both civilian and military when making these decisions, then the
decisions are made at the highest level, which is the elected civilian
government.
Police....and indeed ALL those directed by this top leadership authority,
are then DIRECTED to IMPLEMENT the decisions that have been made.
Is this clear enough?
