I see a lot of people lately citing the military as some bastion of self control when it comes to ROE too. What they usually fail to see is that the military on patrol is usually in squads or at least in pairs, not alone like civilian officers. It's much easier to maintain control of a situation when you outnumber potential bad actors. When a normal beat cop is on patrol though they are usually alone (unless in a top 10 major city like NYC). That changes the dynamic as officers have to maintain the upper hand as if they get overpowered the suspect now has access to multiple firearms both on the officer and in a patrol vehicle.
