combat vets are saying that MO cops wear more body armour protective gear, that they were not allowed to point a gun at a civ unless they were going..

to fire and tear gas is against geneva convention rules
of course in iraq the gun fire came from a bit more distance and they could take defensive positions
though they later stopped as it was a tactic to bury landmines at a place that would make a good position, then have a sniper shoot a few rounds, it is instinctive to dive to safety, they had to learn to stand their ground, the snipers tended not to be that good and wait till a good position was cleared or an MRAP could pick them up
