It can be confusing, trying to discuss the ethical and moral implications involved when two separate public service entities collide. What differentiates the two in practical terms?

Firemen:

Volunteer firemen save family from electrical short in home furnace

Police:

No Knock Warrant Results In Deputy Shot, Police Set House on Fire to Flush Suspect

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_22889724/fire-engulfs-wash-house-during-standoff-man

To recap:

Fireman: Will risk life to save citizen from burning house.

Police: Will burn house down with you in it, shoot you as you try to flee the flames.

Fireman:

Police:

Now the civics test:

Which should be interfering with the other?
