Did you mean the "Guardia Civil"? They're the guys with the cool, if not anachronistic, tri-corner hats:
And they resemble GI Joe:
And they're pretty good on a BMW too:
Yep. Spain had terrorists before it became fashionable--ETA, the Basque separatist group. Fang and I lived a year in Madrid in the early 1980s, and it was surprising to see police (the Guardia Civil) patrolling the streets with machine guns.
Once Fang and I and another couple of Americans had rented a car to go on a driving tour of the countryside. We were on a rural, remote country road, when out of the shadows up ahead steps a Guardia Civil in his tricorn hat and cross-belt, and gives us the halt sign. We stop and answer his questions, then notice up ahead about 30 meters in the shadow of a tree, a soldier in fatigues watching us and holding some huge f**king weapon that looked like a B.A.R. They've been dealing with terrorism for decades....
Another example, I was up early one morning in Madrid because I had to get somewhere. We lived right downtown, just a few blocks from a major military compound, like you'd see in Washington DC, a kind of mini Pentagon where a lot of brass work. My walk took me by that building, and I began to notice a high density of soldiers on corners with automatic weapons. Then it dawned on me as I got closer to the main gate: the brass were coming to work, and each car was having a mirror sweep of its undercarriage before entering the compound. While the brass were backed up into the streets like sitting ducks, the soldiers were guarding them.

I like cops.
If there's any LEO's out there listening - Thank You for your service.
Takes Balls that does.

Yeah, those are the guys. I never understood why they would have been from Seville, but hey that was the way all the squids used to say it.
Civil Guard makes much more sense.
agreed. i wave at every cop i see. also every firetruck and ambulance. why? there's a damn good chance that one of these days i'm going to need them to take good care of me from my riding a motorcycle. ( :
I wave at all the pretty nurses. I may not need one yet, but I still want one.
Did somebody say sponge bath?

Hmmmm, when you need a sponge bath (or any other "assistance" from a nurse) does "pretty" (whatever your quantification might be) necessaily enter into the equation.I wave at all the pretty nurses. I may not need one yet, but I still want one.
Did somebody say sponge bath?
Oh wait....we're talking fantasy. NOW I understand (sort of)!
I will say that, after my last visit to the "get-well-quick" place and the various appointments afterward, "pretty" (young, attractive, sexy, available, where ever your mind digresses) is waaaaayyyyy down on my priority list. I much prefer knowledgeable, able, efficient, caring, insightful and personable. I was very fortunate to have been at a hospital full of "my kind" of nurses and nurse-practitioners. Lucky me!

Can we have this kind of enforcement in LA (aka the televised car chase capital of the USA)? Instead of gaining a slot on live reality-TV, those who run from the police will KNOW that they will only ever do it ONCE. One strike and you're out. You were asked nicely to stop and you chose not to. Betcha this would cut down on the frequency of police chases.

In this case, it wasn't the police officer that did the major damage, but the fact that the "suspects" (perpetrators/miscreants/lawbreakers) were heading the wrong way on a one-way street and hit a taxi head on. Whoopsie-Daisy!
