As with all officer involved shootings I run my personal litmus test.
If one of our servicemen lit up an Iraqi, for pointing his pipe at him, would my trooper be up on charges?
In my mind, the ROE for our police force must be higher than our ROE for our men and women in combat. Just my .02.
To do so would be standing with the anti-Americans hellbent on destroying the ability of America's military to protect us abroad and destroying the ability of America's police to protect us at home!
