We have stricter rules of engagement for the Army when deployed, “Do not fire unless fired upon” also in many circumstances if someone throws down their weapon you must cease fire.

Not only is this a fallacy of false equivalence, but it’s also straight up false. This is only one of many rules of engagement that are applied contextually, such as during a reconnaissance operation where stealth is necessary, or a peacekeeping mission where hostile combatants aren’t necessarily expected. It is also not usually the role of a peacekeeper to chase down criminals to enforce another country’s laws. Obvious exceptions to this rule apply in the same way that they apply to law enforcement to allow them to protect themselves during times when they reasonably believe that a gun-toting individual is an immediate and real threat to them. The same logic usually also applies to ordinary civilians acting in self-defense.

Of course. Until they draw a second one.

Why would I think that it was relevant to the police.
a taser would have sufficed in this situation.
As an outsider it seems like America is a country full of people running around with guns and shooting each other. How does anyone there manage to relax?
Eh, there’s pretty bad police violence globally, if we ignore authoritarian countries or poor countries, there’s a fair amount of police violence from the other country that jerks itself off in being a free equal liberal democracy, France.
When I was in France I did see the police being heavy-handed on a few occasions (by UK standards anyway) but there was no routine gun violence and certainly no 18 year olds running around with pistols. The US is unique among developed countries.
i read the article, saw the video and asked mysel
don’t they have any law enforcement there ???
