    Yeah but one is war and the other is civilian policing. Nobody expects soldiers and police to act the same.

      military occupation and civilian policing. Bit of a difference. And even then, in an ideal world I would expect soldiers to not kill people who are already subdued - that probably counts as a war crime, if the “war” part applies.

        It does, the UMCJ also forbids it.

        Like hold up, we’ve lost sight of that for a long while, but that really should be an important distinction and nobody should be expecting soldiers and police to act the same.

          I expect both police and military to avoid killing civilians.

            Which they do.

            Or do you mean they should literally never kill civilians?

                No. I would hope not anyways.

          The point is to feel morally superior without having to actually do anything.

          Yes, cops and soldiers are meant to have different roles, but when we’re focusing on their shared propensity for killing innocent unarmed people, there’s not much of a distinction.

            The difference is the military can very quickly kill thousands of people per minute, without even going to the big stuff. Hand held guns are irrelevant.

        It’s an important distinction for the entire nation.
