Here is what absolutely boggles my mind: this information is so well know the USA Department Of The Army Field Manual on Counterinsurgency contains: > Security force abuses and the social upheaval caused by collateral damage from combat can be major escalating factors for insurgencies. https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=468442 https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=468442

Unfortunately, the theory does not translate into practice or hiring. The military and militarized US police force seem to actively recruit agents who fundamentally misunderstand principles of de-escalation. Whether that be riot police antagonizing civilians or armed forces provoking people abroad. The standards for these positions must be higher, especially domestically (police).
