Enlisted personnel (E4-E6 or even higher) aren't making oodles of cash.

What metric are you judging this comment by?

IIRC, the cost to train and vet a Seal is around 500k.
Salary isn't the only consideration. And obviously when bullets are flying even highly trained people like Seals or Rangers make mistakes ie Pat Tillman.

This whole scene was a huge shitshow with the crossfire and non-existent communication. The cops from either side of the line likely thought the crossfire bullets were from the perp and it just escalated the situation.

The father is the scum here. He could've killed her along with her mother or in a crash fleeing the cops.
