First and foremost..... WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ESCALATION OF FORCE (EOF) NOT RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. So you your entire last post is garbage. As usual. YOU brought the ROE to the table. We didn't. I bolded ME talking about EOF and YOU talking about ROE. I also bolded ME EXPLAINING EOF IS NOT ROE. So in response you cite more ROE stuff and attack me about it.
Second....

In a scenario like the one above,
traditional EOF was most often applied using the five S’s (
Shout, Show, Shove, Shoot,
Shoot) (Fig. 1).12 Once the crowd demonstrated hostile intent or a committed hostile act, the squad would shout commands at
the crowd to stop their actions and go home. If that failed to stop their threatening actions, the squad would then show their
weapons and demonstrate their intent to use them. If that failed to pacify the crowd, the Soldiers would be authorized to
shove the crowd back or use other non-lethal means. If this also failed to counter the threat, the Soldiers could then fire a
warning shot. Finally, as a last resort having exhausted all other options, the squad could fire shots to eliminate specific
threats within the crowd. Most of the ROE that contain the Shout, Show, Shove, Shoot, Shoot provisions also stated that if
there was an immediate threat of serious injury or death, Soldiers could defend themselves or others without going through
the progressive steps.13

Last link is a smart card they give out to soldiers look at bottom middle... EOF ESCALTION OF FORCE.....
Has it sunk in yet WW? Need more cites? I've cited army manuals, a army law document and army study guide. ROE IS NOT EOF. EOF is just one part of the ROE for the area. The ROE can be any rule the commander of that battle space puts out. For example, part of my tour I was in downtown Baghadad. My team was not allowed to use .50 cals nor Mark 19s. Too much collateral damage downtown. That was a RULE that the battle space commander put out. But we still followed EOF. I still had flare pens in my turret. Some other guys actually had lasers to shine on peoples windshields.
The one we used was Shout (yell for them to stop) Show (weapon either point at them or show them the weapon) Shove (if we were on foot) Shoot (warning shot if able to ) Shoot - Disable (only vehicles obviously, .50 through engine area) Shoot- person (till they stop becoming a threat). You'll find a few different variations depending on the Unit SOP.
