The only recourse a soldier has when he's received a legal order, no matter how dangerous, is the unofficial right to fail. Not a legal right, mind, but a literal law of reality - which they will also be reprimanded for in aar at a minimum, assuming they aren't cm'd or rearguarded out.
Maybe he trips and falls, sprains his ankle while he's loading the apc. Or maybe he moves too cautiously to get to the ao at the right time. Maybe it saves his life, but it definitely hurts his career. As Thump mentioned before, though, cops aren't soldiers. They have shittier training, less restrictive roe, more legal freedom and far greater legal protections.....in addition to much better pay.
They exist to keep the home mob under control. That's it. That's all. Nothing more. There was never anything more to it. Could be, could have been..just wasn't..and isn't. Our cops as they are don't exist to keep criminals or crime under contriol. That would be dangerous. They're here to keep the guy working the counter at starbucks under control. To levy fines against him under threat of imprisonment in a stunning display of the disparity of authorized lethal power between the state and the citizen. We turn these guys into tanks then hand them semi autos....so they can collar the fry cook at arbys. That's what they do for a living...and that, is how dangerous what they do for a living actually is.
