The problem with policing is that cops are targets.

They respond accordingly. I think very few of them (anymore) seek to be The Punisher.

But when they think they are attacked, they freak out, and it's hard to fully blame them, although the gun who opened fire when the acorn dropped was an extreme.

It analogizes to friendly fire.

Often in combat, someone freaks out and everyone starts shooting.
