Do you think the police could use a escalation of force similar to the Army?

I have friends and family that are police officers. I know the police force has some sort of sop for lethal Force. They're also outfitted with a non-lethal weapons. I think it would be beneficial for the police force to demonstrate to the public and their Rules of Engagement and standard operating procedures for lethal Force.

The law enforcement agencies, like the military, must be capable of meeting any threat posed to the public ... and to them! They are not being paid to be murdered!

Hopefully they're trained well enough the correct weapon whether it be lethal or non lethal. But if that cop feels like they're in danger I don't care which they grab as long as they protect themselves

The problem with the use of force continuum that a lot of the officers that I know say is that most situations go 0-100 in matter of a second and forces them to skip to the use of less then lethal or lethal force.

It has to be hard to deescalate when going from 0-100, does this imply more training so that the reaction keeps the LEO and the suspect alive. I wish I had an answer, but thee has to be a way to keep both alive. My only exposure to killing was in a combat zone, targets were clear, meaning the enemy, and ROE were clear, free fire zone every moving thing is a target. Are we really at "war" with our own citizens? I really wish I had the answer, so everyone leaves a scene alive. Thanks for tolerating my thoughts. :-)

You can never have enough training for law enforcement. What about training for civilians on how to deal with police. Deescalation is extremely difficult in a volatile situation. I don't see there being a war between civilians and police however the current state of affairs coming from the current administration is making it seem like cops are at war with civilians mostly African Americans.
