The media spent a lot of time this summer examining whether a certain Maine oysterman and Marine veteran seeking federal employment should have been better vetted by those around him.<\/p>\n

Even after Graham Platner abandoned his U.S. Senate bid, his friends and foes argue about whether service-related conditions\u2014which earned him a 100 percent disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)\u2014contributed to past substance abuse, mental health problems, or aggression against intimate partners.<\/p>\n

Now, in the same state, the spotlight has shifted to David Brouillette, a troubled Afghan war vet who might also have been better off harvesting oysters. Brouillette spent eight years in the U.S. Army and state National Guard before getting hired for not one, but two federal jobs. Thanks to an ill-advised push to recruit more ex-military personnel for law enforcement roles, without proper background checks, he got to carry a gun again.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, after serving as a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) police officer and then joining the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Brouillette fatally shot Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00e1n Guerrero, a young Colombian immigrant, during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine.<\/p>\n

The Vet-to-Cop Pipeline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to Congress allocating $30 billion to create 10,000 more positions for that agency between 2025 and 2030\u2014and job cuts at other federal departments, which often employ veterans\u2014more ex-soldiers are getting hired into a para-military workforce, with insufficient vetting, minimal training, and leaders who valorize brutality. Those who have already been cops go to the head of the line for signing bonuses as high as $50,000.<\/p>\n

Brouillette is among the 200,000 veterans disproportionately represented in the nation\u2019s nearly one million law enforcement jobs, ranging from local police departments to the fast-growing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

For their own good and the welfare of all Americans, some of these vets should not trade one uniform for another. That\u2019s because past military service not only produces Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); it can also leave former service members with traumatic brain injuries that trigger aggressive and impulsive behavior.<\/p>\n

In the case of Maine mass shooter Robert Card, a longtime Army Reserve grenade range instructor who never served in combat, that condition led to the slaughter of 18 neighbors at a bar and bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, almost three years ago. Far more common is the rocky personal transition to civilian life typified by twice-divorced Brouillette, whose father and brother also served in the military.<\/p>\n

Mental Health Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Brouillette\u2019s first ex-wife, Ashley, he first became verbally and physically abusive after joining the military in 2007. His subsequent misbehavior, she told The New York Times<\/em>,included choking her, slamming her to the floor, and pushing her against a wall. In 2012, such \u201cthreats and harassment were so persistent,\u201d she fled the state to escape him. \u201cHe has mental health issues, he\u2019s short-tempered, he\u2019s reactive [and] he should be in treatment,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Seven years later, his next ex-wife sought a restraining order against Brouillette after he \u201cbroke her door down, destroyed her belongings, and dumped her clothes over a bridge,\u201d and spat in her face. In her court filing, she expressed fear about his stalking her by \u201ccoming to my home or sitting in the parking lot of my work.\u201d So, as CNN found, a judge twice issued temporary orders requiring Brouillette to relinquish any firearms in 2019 and 2021.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, when Brouillette re-trained to become a firefighter in 2021, a heavy I-beam fell on his head, inflicting serious damage. In a lawsuit over the accident, he confessed to having \u201cimpaired memory, cognitive deficits, headaches, vertigo, and high sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long before he fired the shots that killed Guerrero, he had already worked among VA patients and staff in Maine, as part of an agency police force with its own troubled history of using excessive force. And then he moved on seamlessly to ICE last December, despite a checkered court record and non-military head injury that should have been disqualifying.<\/p>\n

A Bad Career Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we were researching an earlier book on veterans, two retired Army officers, both West Point grads, expressed deep concern about policing, of any kind, as a post-military career among veterans at risk for substance abuse and suicide because of PTSD, chronic pain, or traumatic brain injuries.<\/p>\n

Daniel Sjursen, a much-decorated major who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, told us that, \u201cwhen you leave the service, there\u2019s no de-programming \u2026 They just load you up on meds, and then you go straight to the police academy.\u201d Because \u201cmilitary-style of policing is based on the notion that high-crime areas should be treated like occupied countries, a guy can come back to Baltimore, Camden, or Detroit and function the same way we did when occupying Kabul or Baghdad.\u201d<\/p>\n

As his fellow officer, a Gulf War combat vet and military historian Andrew Bacevic noted, \u201cTo the extent that we\u2019ve got a bunch of damaged young people, then maybe the last thing we want to do is put them in a job where they carry a gun in an environment that\u2019s going to make things worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even during Barack Obama\u2019s administration, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was not listening to such knowledgeable insiders. Instead, the DOJ provided local police departments around the country with tens of millions of dollars to fund veterans-only positions.<\/p>\n

As noted in a 2017 report by The Marshall Project, \u201cWhen Warriors Put On the Badge,\u201d this combination of special funding and preferential hiring mandated by state or federal law has made it harder to \u201cbuild police forces that resemble and understand diverse communities.\u201d The new hires benefiting most have been disproportionately white, because 60 percent of all enlisted men and women are not people of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inappropriate Use of Force<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the first Trump administration, the DOJ had little interest in tracking the later job performance of recently hired veterans or how their military background might affect their behavior.<\/p>\n

By that time, however, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) had already about \u201cthe integration of military personnel\u201d into law enforcement. In their own , the IACP noted that, in the case of returning combat veterans from Iraq or Afghanistan, their combat environment and their policing environments may appear surprisingly similar.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, prior military service in the Middle East \u201cmay cause returning officers to mistakenly blur the lines between military combat situations and civilian crime situations, resulting in inappropriate decisions and actions, particularly in the use of lethal force.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cosponsored by the DOJ\u2019s Bureau of Justice Assistance, this IACP report also noted that vets who have PTSD and related \u201cdepression, anger, withdrawal, and family issues\u201d may have \u201ca low tolerance for civilian complaints\u201d and greater propensity for the \u201cinappropriate use of force.\u201d Some police chiefs interviewed reported that veterans under their command had come back \u201cill prepared for the civilian world\u201d because their PTSD left them with \u201cexaggerated survival instincts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officer-Involved Shootings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers at the University of Texas School of Public Health found that Dallas Police Department officers with military experience used their guns while on duty more than non-veterans. During a 10-year period, nearly one-third of more than 500 cops involved in a shooting incident were veterans. Those who had been deployed overseas were nearly three times as likely to have fired their weapon; those who had not been deployed were still twice as likely to be involved in a shooting. This study, published in the Journal of Public Health<\/em>, concluded that some veterans employed by the Dallas police department lacked \u201ccritical thinking skills\u201d when confronted with \u201chigh stress scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Marshall Project reported similar findings after it studied use-of-force complaints and fatal police shootings in several cities. In Boston and Miami, officers with military experience generated more civilian complaints of excessive force. Nearly one-third of the Albuquerque officers involved in a total of thirty-five fatal shootings between January 2010 and April 2014 were veterans. One of the officers sued after killing an unarmed motorist was an Iraq War veteran whose PTSD caused flashbacks, nightmares, and blackouts. Nevertheless, as the Marshall Project discovered, he was \u201cassigned to patrol a high-crime area of town known as \u2018the War Zone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure public safety and guarantee a stable, reliable, and productive workforce,\u201d Marshall Project researchers cited the need for clear and consistent police department policies to \u201cevaluate employees\u2019 mental and physical fitness.\u2009 Yet local police department screening practices, around the country, remain far from standardized or effective. \u201cSome agencies employ the use of administrative interviews and psychological evaluations to assess how veteran officers will perform the essential functions of their position, while other agencies revert to their department medical officer, or lack any policy at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

No Local Constraints<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever unhelpful contribution to militarized policing has been made by hiring too many post-9\/11 vets, new and old cops in Dallas, Boston, Miami, and other cities at least walk the streets without masks on. They display badges with their names and, in most places, wear body cameras as well. If they screw up in a high-stress situation, they are subject to internal affairs investigations and\/or civilian police review board questioning, particularly if an officer-involved shooting has occurred.<\/p>\n

When an Army veteran named Derek Chauvin put George Floyd in a fatal chokehold six years ago in Minneapolis, he was even prosecuted and sentenced to a long prison term. When another military veteran named Jonathan Rose\u2014a former machine gunner in Iraq deployed in the Twin Cities last winter as an ICE agent\u2014fired on Renee Good, did he face any criminal charges for killing a gay non-immigrant mother of three? Not yet.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t hold your breath waiting for justice for Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00e1n Guerrero. For the last 18 months, federal immigration agents have operated with far less public oversight and accountability than any local police department. In the process, they have killed 23 people under circumstances that homicide detectives and local prosecutors have been blocked from properly investigating.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security has just doubled down on its policy of not releasing the names of officers involved in these fatal encounters. Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been directed to stop investigating claims by those, like David Brouillette, who say they used lethal force in response to being endangered.<\/p>\n

Under current circumstances, no friends, family members, or employment counselors of young veterans should encourage them to answer the siren call of ICE\u2014no matter how much they need a job. As one former ICE official told the Boston Globe<\/em>, \u201cwe should all be concerned \u2026 that they have lowered standards, that they have rushed hiring, and they have made offers to people before their vetting is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if applicants from military backgrounds lack the confessed \u201ccognitive deficits\u201d of Brouillette, wearing camo again\u2014while stopping traffic, knocking down doors, brandishing automatic weapons, and engaging in car chases\u2014is not a healthy career choice, for them or us.<\/p>\n
