"Don't suffer from PTSD, go out and cause it."

That is a great motto for the Marines or the Rangers.
It isn't appropriate for domestic LE. Unfortunately it's already a very common mindset amongst local LEAs across the country. That's not a good thing.

so we're willing to give the marines the benefit of the doubt that they are going to cause harm only to the enemy and not civilians, but cops are not given the benefit of the doubt that they will cause harm only to criminals and not civilians.

ok, got it. and please don't respond about wartime vs peacetime with respect to the military. the police are at war with crime 24/7/365.
