Well, SWAT teams would disagree.
They're not allowed, not supposed and not used to go killing people at the next block because there was a shooting incident.

A force of roughly 130,000 personnel taking only about two KIA on an average day cannot claim to be in a war that justifies the treatment of 30,000,000 people like "sentenced to immediate death on mere suspicion" because of maybe 50,000 insurgents and at the same time fulfill a mission that IIRC required providing "security".
