    I would bet that there have probably been soldiers in cities for pretty much as long as there have been cities.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization

    A civilization (British English: civilisation) is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).

    This “urban revolution” –a term introduced by Childe in the 1930s– from the 4th millennium BCE, marked the beginning of the accumulation of transferable economic surpluses, which helped economies and cities develop. Urban revolutions were associated with the state monopoly of violence, the appearance of a warrior, or soldier, class and endemic warfare (a state of continual or frequent warfare), the rapid development of hierarchies, and the use of human sacrifice.

    Yeah, that sounds pretty closely-linked.

    I don’t know the history of the legal separation of the soldier and policeman, but I’d bet that it’s pretty recent, and it’s certainly not universal even today.

    In the US, there is a partial legal separation – the Posse Comitatus Act. That was relatively recent --1870s, and is not a constitutional-level restriction – it was put into place after the American Civil War by pro-slavery states who disliked the (antislavery) federal government intervening in their society in the Jim Crow era. And it had more to do with disagreement over federal-state roles than fundamental disagreements over military-police.

    In France, in contrast, an important chunk of law enforcement is a responsibility of the military today.

      in theory you’re right.

      in practice, and in France, there was a clear decision to introduce military presence in cities through patrols after bataclan attack. Armed (wo)men in camouflage wasn’t something you saw in cities.

      Though gendarmerie is a part of the army, they don’t have the warrior outlook. They look more like policemen.

      It was a cunning decision to reinforce military presence in cities to emphasize “we’re in war” propaganda, just for political gains :/
