You cannot expect a cop to wait until fired upon before responding

We expect that of soldiers in a freaking war zone. We expect that of every CCW holder in the US. The only people who have a pretty open license to shoot is cops. How about we give cops the same rules of engagement we give the Infantry in Afghanistan?

And soldiers die daily because of it. Soldiers hate it. Those ROEs were instituted by the political generals of Boll Clinton

>>How about we give cops the same rules of engagement we give the Infantry in Afghanistan?<<

Those asinine, politically-coerced rules of engagement have caused countless soldiers and marines to be seriously wounded and killed. And that is why those rules have been changed. Now, any enemy displaying hostile intent, e.g., the brandishing of deadly weapons, the carrying of IEDS, etc. is an approved target and may be killed.
