We do this to civilians all the time. What do people think has been going on in our ghettos for the last 30 years? (Or even more in some places.)
Not that we should tolerate it, but this is nothing new.

Again, I'm not agreeing with any of these tactics. I'm only saying that these kinds of actions have been normalized over the last 30-40 years, so we've all got to at least consider the possibility of such actions being taken against us if we fall afoul of the law.
