    I know a bunch of vets that swear that police rules of engagement are insane and they would have gotten in deep shit for acting in a fucking war zone the way cops do here.

      This, if swat teams and police raids weren’t as violent and deadly as they are, swatting would cease to be a thing in the first place.

      Shithead trolls would lose a tool to harass.

      For one thing, opening fire on a civilian or other non-combatant that hasn’t already fired live rounds at you will get your ass court-martialed, dishonorably discharged, and imprisoned faster than you can say “Miranda rights”

      And somehow that happens dozens of times per day in American police departments
