Huh? Seems like just the opposite. Cops get to shoot at the slightest provocation and the soldiers are handcuffed by the ROE. It should be the other way around. Remember, they are PEACE officers not soldiers. You want a military response to these kinds of situations where civilians are involved? This is what you'll get - unnecessary loss of American lives.
I wasn't clear enough in terms of the police. I agree with what you say. What I meant to say is that there is a lot of second-guessing going on in regard to the police, by people who don't have a clue - did they have to shoot, did they shoot too many times, could they have waited for backup, could they have used a taser, etc. They are certainly questioning the ROE and, it seems to me, wanting to change the ROE - exactly like they did for our troops. And the results will be the same - more loss of American lives.
Yes, there are cops who act wrongly, but that doesn't mean they all do, and there are procedures in place to deal with bad-actors.
