I must just qualify that a trained member of MK or APLA was seen in a completely different light than a burglar or a car thief.   The psyche among the members of the Security Police and the Counter-Insurgency community was that a terrorist had received military training and was dangerous.
	He couldn't just be your equal, he could be even more skilled than you, and to be the second one to shoot, would lead you to your grave.  If you shot first, you would win.  If you shot second, you would die.
	That was a mental state of the operators and the workers, especially on ground level where most of the injuries were received, that was the mentality of the members.
	That which would appear to be excessive, would not be excessive for the operative on ground level.
