Tac, I thought you might know the difference between typical Police actions and Military excursions being so knowledgable and all but I see you are unclear about it.
Naming just one battle scenario is myopic in the extreme. It shows a clear misunderstanding of the differentation of missions assigned to totally seperate enforcement intities.
In the case of Police.. the battle is likely to be very short with little opportunity for support or resupply to the opposing forces. Criminals do not have the logistics for this and are principally on the run. Police are often back at the precinct house within hours if not minutes of a gun battle. If a weapon malfunctions it is likely the criminal element will take the opportunity to escape rather than press the attack.
Military forces are often placed in a much different environment. Probably remote location, perhaps resupply difficulties. Weather factors. Dirt, mud, snow. No squad car close by..The enemy is more prone to press an attack that makes a malfunctioning weapon much less desirable. I am sure there are many more examples but my time for education of the masses is limeted.
