Not an epiphany here but ...

American soldiers are encouraged to kill ENEMIES of the United States in THEIR country.

American policemen are sometimes forced to kill CITIZENS of the United States in OUR OWN country.

Those citizens may be crazy or criminal but they are protected by the same Constitution the cop is ... right up to the point that the cop has to shoot them.

Surviving the court proceedings is the second (and often worse) fight.

The SWAT guys and some others in LE have the benefit of learning from the SpecOps community sometimes in a roundabout way. It usually comes full circle. Real deal guys get out and teach in the private sector where the cops pick it up and pass it on.

Cross-pollination if you will.
