Ok

But just remember alot of the justification LEO uses in determining if they can use lethal force is the same justification you as a citizen also uses.

If this story is half true, no way. Same with the guy who was mowed down by swat in the hotel hallway. Executed for not following is instructions.

If I’m in my house, I’ll pull a gun because at that point a trespasser is a threat.

But outside of my property, I wouldn’t pull a gun unless I was being attacked or someone pulled a weapon. It’s not that complicated.

Riggght.

This is another problem that some people think LEO and the public have the same level of protection from the law.

DA's have a tendency not to prosecute people when it makes people in power and themselves look bad.

Theres no shortage of situations where if a citizen had killed a person they get the needle, yet if LEO do it they get a promotion and paid leave.
