Photo ID: Screencap from Twitter of a text post from an unknown source.

Source post(appetitusinvictus): I was in Iraq & even in an actual theater of war, unless you were immediately fired on we had several steps to go through before kill shots. we had rules of engagement and escalation of force cards my command made us carry on us at all time with those regulations. even when a car possibly carrying explosives was barreling down on us, we were taught to exhaust several steps of warnings before killing: hand signals, flags, pop smoke/flares, warning shots to the sides, disabling shots THEN kill shots. so for the life of me, I can’t figured(sic) out why on the streets in the United States of America, police officers go immediately to murder and people are just like “well, in the heat of the moment…”

Twitter comment above source(-ryan): Can confirm. As a combat vet this is maddening. #BlackLivesMatter [three coloured fists emoji]

ID ends.

The people whose job it is to kill have more procedures in place than the US police.
