"The "force escalation" went ask -> tell -> make, and they try to instill a paranoia that everyone has a concealed gun by default and should be treated so."
That's in line with what I saw when I was military police during my German service and had to interact with American MPs. Their strategy was often (not always) to go in directly and if anybody resisted they immediately applied force. Us Germans on the other hand did almost everything we could do to avoid force. It was definitely a noticeable difference in attitude. The Americans also spent a huge amount of time on the shooting range whereas we got there maybe twice a year.
