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

Read Marcus Latrell’s book

Correct.

I am not a fan of the ROE. You missed my point.

I have friends who were soldiers in Iraq, and then became LEO’s (till they lost the stomach for it).

Cops have pretty much a free license to fire. One of my friends was told by his partner to keep the bodycam covered, so they can be “more effective”. That is at best a massive failure of integrity, and one that these Sacramento cops seem to share.

My friend as an Army solider, had a lot of training on the rules of engagement, law of war, and how to try to defuse situations. As a cop, he said the standards were not only lower, but at times 180 degrees at odds.

It isn’t only black men getting shot. Any interaction with a cop now, no matter how minor, risks instance death with no consequences to the shooter. I mean we have people getting “SWATED”, and getting shot unarmed when they show up to the wrong house!

Something needs to change.
