Really? Thats an important distinction to you?
Like hold up, we've lost sight of that for a long while, but that really should be an important distinction and nobody should be expecting soldiers and police to act the same.
Yes, cops and soldiers are meant to have different roles, but when we're focusing on their shared propensity for killing innocent unarmed people, there's not much of a distinction.
The difference is the military can very quickly kill thousands of people per minute, without even going to the big stuff. Hand held guns are irrelevant.
