Yesterday, regarding the Falcon Heights MN shooting, there were commenters in Reddit who said that that they were Iraq veterans and that they had tighter rules and discipline about shooting people who are not shooting at them, than the US police has. And that these careless shootings are done by inexperienced policemen who are too scared of the situation to be able to think clearly.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoYeah. And we've only killed 116 civilians by drone. I wouldn't seek the unbiased truth on Reddit.
- sampo 10y agoThere should be enough unjustified police killings to gather a dataset and see, in how many cases was the policeman an army veteran?
