Youtube, so they probably censored some of it to keep it clean. Disturbing nonetheless.

... Huh...

That was... weird.

But I liked it.

Suspect: "You do not want to arrest me"

Trooper: "Shut the fuck up!"

Why was the Stormtrooper carrying an M-16?

Guess.

I like it, it was... different

But should Stormtroopers serve the role as police?

It worked for TROOPS.

Honestly, to the mainstream, and most casual fans, there is simply no conception of any other form of Imperial infantry or ground troops or any other type of faceless mook besides your common Stormtrooper.

It's comparable to paratroopers doing the same work as police officers. And that misconception infamously permeates the lazy EU as well (you almost never see the Imperial Army infantryman).

Wait, the Empire is a militarist regime, right? Wouldn't Posse Comitatus not exist, and as such Stormtroopers would be police? Clonetroopers did it in the last stages of the Clone Wars.

EDIT: LOL, funny video

And why aren't there repulsorcraft

I'd love to see a realistic, gritty short film/movie with the Imperial Army and maybe some COMPNOR/COMPFORCE overseers battling a Rebel insurgency. Kinda like Band of Brothers meets Star Wars meets Iraq. It would be a nice change of pace from the focus on Jedi-wank and planet-hopping.

Like any elite or semi-elite strike force, the Stormtroopers (like the US Marines) must be a comparatively small component in the Galactic Empire's doubtlessly colossal tapestry of different military services and security agencies, each equipped with their own warships and standing armies (you could also take into account the regional paramilitaries, law enforcement groups and militias being integrated into the Galactic Empire's chain of command - in ANH it would've been cool seeing the local corrupt sheriffs in Mos Eisley co-operating with Vader’s Stormtroopers in hunting down the droids and manning the checkpoints).
