Nathilus posted:How rear end in a top hat cops and people like Zimmerman get to kill people without then getting killed in retaliation themselves is beyond me. it's not really a mystery, wishing death on people is common but humans who have the will to actually carry out a planned murder (as opposed to a heat-of-the-moment rage killing) are quite rare

One major modern revelation in the field of military psychology is the observation that such resistance to killing one's own species is also a key factor in human combat. *Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall first observed this during his work as an official U.S. Army historian in the Pacific and European theaters of operations in World War II. Based on his post-combat interviews, Marshall concluded in his book Men Against Fire (1946, 1978) that only 15 to 20 percent of the individual riflemen in World War II fired their own weapons at an exposed enemy soldier. Key weapons, such as *flame-throwers, were usually fired. Crew-served weapons, such as *machine guns, almost always were fired. And action would increase greatly if a nearby leader demanded that the soldier fire. But when left on their own, the great majority of individual combatants appear to have been unable or unwilling to kill.

Nathilus posted:Disagree. It's buried in all of us, some more deeply than others. I'm not saying that humanity is ignoble or anything that's a value judgement and thus worthless in this context. But the will to enact violence is not only within our mentalities but in our very physical and genetic makeup. It doesn't take much to turn one of those soldiers that won't fire at another human being on their own, or even someone far more passive, into a screeching savage. Mob mentality proves that point well enough that I don't feel the need to explain further than that. my theory explains the reality you were remarking on (retaliatory cop killings are extremely unusual even when cops are publicly getting away with murder themselves), yours doesn't
