Military and police have very different mission statements. Police enforce the rule of law. Military kill enemy combatants.
All the more surprising that military SOP in this case seemed to be a lot less "trigger-happy" and more disciplined than what apparently happened in Oakland, I think that's the point the OP is trying to make.
