” As they should.”
That kind of depends on what is “fired” at you. You can’t sweat the small stuff, unless your goal is to make things worse.
People keep effectively calling for shoot on sight orders. That is a recipe to set off wars.
Soldiers for crowd control, bad idea.
crowd control is for orderly crowds, not riots
You're right.
Napalm the entire area.
I don’t view getting shot at as “small stuff”. If the guard is deployed on site and they take fire they should shoot back. If you don’t want that risk do not deploy them and let things burn.
