So you think cops should, in the darkness and at the end of a long pursuit of a suspect, should wait to make sure the person advancing towards them with an arm extended doesn’t have a gun in that hand? I’m sure you would exercise such restraint against an intruder in your own home...not. You nitwits demand a perfect world, cops don’t live in that world.

Yes.

I’m sure you would exercise such restraint against an intruder in your own home...not.

Let me ask you this. If you saw someone in your backyard and immediately opened fire then what do you think the authorities would do to you when it was discovered that person was unarmed and not a threat?

You nitwits demand a perfect world, cops don’t live in that world.

So in other words, police have carte blanche to shoot whoever they want so long as they say afterwards that they felt threatened? So please tell me again, using your standards, why Justine Diamond didn't deserve to die? Night time. Police are looking for an intruder. She approached the officers from behind. There was a loud noise. In your shoot-on-sight world then that was a perfectly reasonable response on the part of the police.
