You obviously don't have a recent military background, because the rules of engagement in battle areas are much more strict than in Texas, or what you propose.
Do you think LE should have looser rules of engagement than our military? Our military are much more likely to be injured or killed, BTW.

......I was in the military 7 years but never in combat. So, your right on that point.
I don’t think I “proposed” anything.
Re “looser rules than our military”. The answer is NO. As I have stated in many previous posts, I think Obamas and Hillary’s ROE’s are one reason why this country should not have “boots on the ground” anymore. Our leaders are idiots and hire idiot lawyers, in some cases completely inexperienced in ANYTHING, to make, in effect, combat decisions. This results in our kids being sent overseas to combat where often they either get murdered or get prosecuted.
Regarding police here in the US, the ONLY system I know of is what we have. If the cops F up they should be prosecuted. All of them should be aware at all times that pulling that gun could be THE END for them too! Their ROE’s certainly should be tighter. The idea that you can roll up on a scene and open fire on a kid with a toy gun in his hand because you felt threatened and kill him is an affront to everyone and inexcusable, period.
Just an observation: It seems here on FR we have the guys/gals that will defend the cops no matter what they do and then we have the guys/gals that hate the cops no matter what they do. Just to be clear, I am in that group that tries to stay in the middle and stay balanced in our attitude towards cops knowing that each incident is different and has to be looked at very carefully.
