The Korean War was the world's first war of the ATOMIC AGE. And, and as a result of the nuclear weapons, had to be "limited" to "Conventional Weapons" only; thus creating the first "Limited War." Vietnam would be the second. President Truman, unfamiliar with the new rules of warfare in the Atomic Age (Limited verses Fighting to win/total war) mis-termed it a police action. Which is what our military is conducting in the 21st century; restoring law, order, and stability to a country or region. Truman conducted the Korean War as he should have, as Commander in Chief.

The role of a Police officer in Queensland Court?

Police officers do all different things in court like enforcing the law. Because police officers act separate to the Judiciary, their actions are highly scrutinised by the courts. If police officers instigate action to bring an offender before the court, an officer needs to consider the evidence they have collected as well as their actions in obtaining that evidence and whether or not their actions and decisions will stand up to prosecutorial and judicial scrutiny. It's ultimately the court and not police officers that determine the guilt or otherwise of the offender.
