He's about to walk through the door that, just a few minutes later, he would slam my head against on purpose.

My first thought was the way football games are promoted, lots of gear, dramatic lighting, going to war, winning a trophy, a championship ring, money, admiration and a place in sports history. With dramatic, martial music in the background.

Wonder if any of that is how the military style police see themselves, as warriors in an epic battle defending something. What that they love and defend is never in the news, it's just accepted.

Just a rhetorical question.
