There's a difference between getting shot while on active service but shoot to kill policies are completely different. Unlike the IRA or loyalists who are only accountable to themselves, the RUC and British army have rules they need to adhere to. Time an time again they flouted this, colluded with loyalists and shot people they shouldn't have shot.
.

I think the "rules" work in state vs state conflicts or normal police work when you have a campaign of violence aimed at the military and police by insurgents the "rules" tend to go out the door in Ni the murder and mayhem by all sides was constrained. which in a way made the murder and mayhem that did go on even worse, In a way it was more some lethal sport than a full on civil war Everyone got to play even if they didnt want to.
Even the armys term for ira gunmen "players" reflected this
