Here is what absolutely boggles my mind: this information is so well know the USA Department Of The Army Field Manual on Counterinsurgency contains:

> Security force abuses and the social upheaval caused by collateral damage from combat can be major escalating factors for insurgencies.

Unfortunately, the theory does not translate into practice or hiring. The military and militarized US police force seem to actively recruit agents who fundamentally misunderstand principles of de-escalation. Whether that be riot police antagonizing civilians or armed forces provoking people abroad.

The standards for these positions must be higher, especially domestically (police).
