2. Your misunderstanding of the military is showing. If you think MPs can use any lethal force in normal crowd control situations, you're mistaken. MPs are trained in more than just riot control.

I have no misunderstanding of Military operations as I have previous experience being a military brat when my dad was still serving. In my comment I said general security/crowd control, use of lethal force is not authorized, because generally all a person has for offensive/defensive use is just their body when in a standard security/crowd control position, as not all are authorized to carry even pepper spray/mace. I do not know many regular security/crowd control where their body has to be considered as a deadly weapon due to training, compared to some MPs.
Use of lethal force is only used in the most severe of circumstances in which most in security/crowd control will never face. MPs & LEOs are trained in how not to use lethal force unless the need is there, a regular person trained in security/crowd control may not have that particular training so the use of lethal force is not authorized.
Concerning the comments I made, those are general perceptions that anyone with a background in security/crowd control would be thinking.
