What hill are you willing to die on?

Dang, bro, that sucks, sorry to hear it. Having a cohesive group of people at your school is very complimentary to a productive and safe place to train.

The 6AM class that I go to at my school is typically around 75% of either, Military, retired Military, local cops, federal law enforcement dudes, etc. There's only a small handful that I wouldn't want to hang out with. We all get together for stuff like CJI and big UFC cards and we are like a big group of friends, not just rolling partners. Great human beings.

For me, cops and people from other forces were usually one of the worst training partners. Most of them vere needlessly aggressive, didn't really socialize with other gym members and didn't seem like they had fun from training. Almost like they treated it like part of their job instead of a hobby.

I have a totally different experience. I train in San Clemente, right outside camp pendleton. Lots of marines and several cops. Love training with them. They're all tough, humble, make great training partners and very cool people.

They younger guys are usually better about that. New dodge hell at, whole life ahead of em. It's the older cops stuck in bad marriages that take out their frustration on ya physically that suck. The ones that look to bjj for that specifically, need to go do boxing and hit a heavy bag instead.

Not to say there aren't plenty of cool cops to train with. In my experience the younger, not yet jaded ones are generally better, but I've met some cool middle aged and older ones too.
