A cop who followed the same regulations and rules of engagement as a soldier would be committing a crime.

Because they have entirely different jobs, in entirely different contexts, with entirely different rules, serving entirely different purposes.

Soldiers in an active military zone would almost certainly not be subject to any scrutiny or investigation for fatally shooting someone who they believed to be armed in the same situation.

Thanks for the supporting evidence!!!!
