As Myanmar heads towards a new civil war, the police are coming under intense pressure to decide which side they are on.
Since the military coup on 1 February, police have been used to brutally suppress mass protests.
Some protesters have taken up arms to fight back, forming civilian militias called the People’s Defence Force.
The BBC has been given rare access to the first group of police officers who defected and joined the people’s side.
Some of those officers now say they’re prepared to use their weapons against their former colleagues.

That’s the issue PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
It’s the most logical response I can give at the moment :
WAR = RESPECT/COMMUNICATION/EGO
1.) Inflated - EGO : I’m right, you need to comply.
2.) Lack of COMMUNICATION : I’m not willing to talk things out, to understand our differences/issues to find a logical peaceful solution.
3.) Lack of RESPECT : I don’t respect you as an human being/lack of humanity.
*The Cold War lasted sooooo long because human beings no matter how much they disagreed ... avoided nuclear warfare.
They understood that there was no coming back once either side lunched*
We have so much potential to do better towards other humans.
