"In these types of military operations, the operators run a extreme risk of severe injury or death and the death of the targets is both acceptable and highly likely."
I'd submit to you that both of these are arguably true, once the all too routine decision to take "direct action" has been made:
America is a legally well armed society, and these home invasions are indistinguishable from ones done by Official Criminals, especially since the latter are known to pretend to be police.
That "the death of the targets is" entirely "acceptable" should be evident to any unbiased observer of these direct actions. Especially since the Badge Gang, as some are taking to call them, are almost never held to account; if ever there was a case to do that, the one of Bou Bou's maiming should have been.
