Well, unfortunately, we'll only ever have unethical studies and historical events that give insight into the behavior-altering effects of power, real or perceived. My point was that, perhaps with these studies and similar and your experiences, that you may have insight into why LEO is less hesitant to shoot on their "enemy."
I'm not sure, but its an interesting phenomenon. I think a lot of it is training. Most LE training is pretty doom and gloom. If you don't stay in the yellow or orange zone, the bad guy WILL get the drop on you. Insert video of this happening. Show the wife and kids getting a folded flag with bagpipes playing in the background. Then train through scenario after scenario where you WILL use force at least 90% of the time.
