“Police aren’t soldiers. Their job is policing. Their charge is to protect and serve. The American citizen is not an enemy, and if any soldier beat an enemy to death like Tyre Nichols was killed, the soldier would be charged as a war criminal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).”

I agree, or for NON US military probably tried in the Hague for war crimes, as well as military court in their own country.

Why the police have become a paramilitary force, they need to de-escalate situations, weapons are a last resort.

Maybe what is needed is a Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).” but for the police, change a few words around and it should cover the police too.

Can the president issue an executive order for that. ?
