Concealed Carrier Rushes Into The Fray - Gunned Down After Preventing Further Casualties

[Nightwatch]

It is wrong coming from a civilian Police Force.

In some people's opinion, it may be wrong and offend them to call them civilians, though by definition, they are.
In some other people's opinion, them being either police, civilian, or having been both, there is nothing wrong with that use of the term...kinda like a lot of other things here...we get to have our opinion, but not control others'.

Both military and police people often refer to clothes not their uniform as being "civvies"...no offense meant and I've never seen anyone take offense...but then I haven't seen everyone.

As if we didn't have enough to pooch our lips out at already.

I didn't even notice the year. I just noticed the single post he made.

He could have had a bunch of posts that got vaporized during one of the site updates.

Try “citizen” instead.

Try “citizen” instead.

That might express what one means in some instances, but does not put a difference between one in the military or an LEO and one who is not...which is a different word...civilian. Both are expressive of thoughts...just different thoughts.

My final offering on the matter...a GREAT NUMBER of those who are not either in the military, the police, or a "belligerant group"...are NOT citizens...but they ARE civilians.

A combatant need no be in uniform. Armed, and not in your side's uniform pretty much equals good target for war.

Engaging in hostilities, armed or not. Armed alone is not sufficient.

Directly engaging is hostilities is not a prerequisite for the application of lethal force in war.
