Are asking me if they should be allowed to? I'm not the University of Victoria Student Society.

IF the police were involved in a contraversial situation and if the the UVic SS took the opinion that they should not allow recruitment on campus, then I'm fine with that. If they tried to do it without reason, then I might wonder why.

On the comparison of cops and soldiers, the big difference is that militaries are also quite often involved in killing of innocent lives on a large scale. In Afghanistan, there have been hundreds killed in "collateral" damage, while with police, it is much more rare. The difference may be subtle, but it should also be intuitive.
