Yosemite is a national park, which means federal park rangers which means,
Park ranger candidates who successfully complete training will be fully commissioned federal law enforcement officers in the NPS. They will be required to carry a gun, make arrests, conduct investigations, and perform all the other duties incumbent upon the job.
I'm hesitant to say that a park ranger who's a federal cop that carries is going to be 99% good shit
City, county, state, federal, postal, parks, military police for each branch I assume, sometimes deputized posses, border patrol, ICE, Capitol Police, Secret Service, Drug Enforcement (federal, DEA), Gun cops (federal, ATF)... I feel like I'm missing some
When the verdict in George Floyd's murder trial was to be announced the governor of MN marched five thousand soliders with machine guns (but no ammo lol) in to the city to crush any possibility of protest or dissent. Iirc for a few days it was the most heavily militarized city on earth.
Park Rangers Yosemite, I'm sure it's 99% good shit, 1% cop shit.
Park Rangers in Central Park? 100% cop shit.

Required to make arrests? So do they have to be able to arrest people or do they have to meet some kind of arrest quota?
I'd wager that's just government speak for job description. Same way that if you work at maccy dees, you will have to grill burgers
Are the Central Park Park Rangers also NYPD or is that just on top of being like the 4th biggest military in the world
Jesus Christ how many kinds of cops does the US have?

There's also the National Guard units of each state, although they're more commonly used for disaster relief.
I always thought the national guard was supposed to be military not cops but, you know, :same-picture:

The only two government agencies I absolutely will not fuck with are the secret service and the postal inspectors.
The department of education has it's own armed tactical team. "Police state" is honestly inadequate at this point.
