You know that technically the police are civilians. Only folks in active military are not considered civilians. That's because they have to answer to a whole different set of laws (UCMJ).

Many seem to forget that little tidbit. They are supposed to be held to the same laws they are entrusted to enforce.

Yeah, LEO's have a difficult job. One most of us don't have the temperament for.

As far as being aware of your surroundings and adjusting we have Col. Jeff Cooper to thank for what we call situational awareness (and the color codes). It's an easily learned behavior that most of society seems to ignore. And one of the main reasons folks do foolish things that get them hurt. Unaware of their surroundings they'll live life as if nothing bad can happen to them. When it does they are totally unprepared and always end up the victim.

D t, you beat me to it.
