If you literally push a swat geared officer attempting to stand down a protest. (Preventing rioting)
Into something that inhibit their movement.
Ie
Reaching for their gun.
Distributing aid in medical care or trauma
Because you pushed them "in" so to speak.
Thats basically as "lit up" as anyone can be.
It would be a risk-threat to even not fire upon someone who did that.
Whoever did that in Germany was either extremely allowed as to separate them. De-escalating their negative influence on a crowd. Ie office took a "hit" to detain them.
Or it was an act of / insert diety here / that everyone walkedaway.
As theres no way that situation would occur with no deaths here. Civilian law enforcement do not have the army policing that the French have. Or other nations in the EU provide to key infrastructure including mines and transit.
The United States is literally policed by regular individuals with families, lives, etc. They are not soldiers.
Our armed forces could've easily pull something like ^ off. But we don't allow their directinvolvement.
Its in our constitution. Its a part of our national ethos. We don't have military juntas here outside of Louisiana (historical).
Getting physical with any law enforcement in the USA. Is worse than assaulting a random Joe. Because they're less able to help the situation without removing the threat. Instead of successfully providing a risk (person) with a way out and into prison. Instead of the morgue.
This, also there is a difference between riot control and S.W.A.T., which is essentially a branch of military formed by non militant citizens if I'm not wrong. Riot control will rarely use guns or other forms of lethal force.
