> "such group" needs practice similar to how firemen use controlled fires to practice their skills

Firemen don't go around setting people's homes on fire in order to practice putting them out.



Oh geez the point is they use it for practice. Nobody is advocating (and it wasn't the point of my comment) that a situation is setup for that purpose.

I think you missed my point. When firemen want to practice they set up a fake fire at a safe location. When paramilitary police forces want to practice, they should and do set up a fake raid at a safe location, rather than practicing on some random non-violent offender's home.
