If the U.S. military fires upon someone, is that all the proof needed that the target was guilty?

[OPOS]

154. Since 1942

When the USAAF started daylight bombing of German cities. or do you believe millions of german civvies were shooting into the air each day? War is dirty business, I can think of few areas where battles fought the modern era didnt result in civilian casualties .

Possibly the North African campaign because of the sheer bleakness of the desert had the least civilian casualties. Now you have someone who has taken a side against his country and taken up with an enemy that deliberately targets non military unarmed persons. I would say he was Hardly innocent, trial or not. the President isnt going to order willy nilly those strikes, and I'd bet my stripes he had far more evidence about the mans actions than you or I will ever see.

The answer is.... send cops to arrest, cops wind up dead. Media winds up questioning why cops dead. Families of cops sent wind up on media questioning why cops dead. People in Know question why didnt you send missile instead. They realize some bright boy thought it was an episode of cops and that simply walking up and saying your under arrest would work with people who think dying will get them 72 virgins and utopia.
