Do the soldiers bang.on.sight or do the criminals shoot.on thr soldiers or both? Because it seems.the soldiers.have abdopted.a.shoot.on sight policy. Not sure.if.this.a.good.thing.or.not. Might lead.to.more.brazen.and.fearless.criminals. I.think beating.them.jp and.throwing.them.in jail.is.a.better.deyetent..Than killing them.since.they the.criminals.get.used.to.such.actions. Beating.them and throwing them to jail have a.more.psychological detterent on.the.criminals. Simply.becsuse.they.have to.face.the.consequences in while.tjey.are.alive.
