Just looked it up even if a military personnel was moonlighting as an officer it wouldn't stick. The Posse Comitatus Act and all.
Apparently there are a lot of cases where officers aren't required to protect civilains.
Warren v. District of Columbia (1981)
Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005)
DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989)
even state-specific laws to charge officers have fail to act have ended in acquittal...
Apparently...Even in deep R-territory it doesn't matter.
In Peterson v. Pollack - Florida prosecutors charged Peterson with "Child Neglect," arguing he was a "caregiver" to the students. However, in June 2023, he was acquitted of all charges. The jury essentially affirmed that while his actions were widely condemned, they weren't a crime under current law.
So yeah I guess it is time to limit the things these criminals are using or invest in more mental health for the troubled (see Shovel).

Posse comitatus allows a sheriff to wrangle up a group of civilians(posse) to go after banditos like Mike Reinhoel but disallows federal military units from acting as law enforcement.
