ROE stricter in Iraq than Arizona? WHY?

  Question: Why are the rules of engagement stricter in Iraq and Afghanistan where our soldiers have to sidestep IEDs, hostile fire, snipers, squealers and terrorists than they are in Arizona?
  Sheriff Dupnik, who excoriated conservatives and radio hosts for their free speech after the Giffords shooting and declared that a "new tone" was necessary to reset boundaries, defends the actions of a SWAT that shot a Marine veteran SIXTY times as he stood in his home, wondering why the SWAT team was on his doorstep.
  KGUN9:

The search warrants remain sealed, but Sheriff Clarence Dupnik did open up. The Sheriff's office released a statementWednesday, calling out the media's "irresponsibility" in asking questions about this case, saying "it is unacceptable and irresponsible to couch those questions with implications of secrecy and a cover-up."

  So people are irresponsible for asking why this veteran had to be shot SIXTY times and Dupnik thinks you shouldn't be doing that.
  Now we know the Marine's safety was on and he couldn't have fired.
  Perhaps Sheriff Dupnik needs to remember that this is STILL the United States of America.
