Sometimes the cops are right to shoot someone, even if it was a tragic misunderstanding

That is a helluva point of view. Let me guess: you are a cop?

By your standards, if a cop points a gun at me and I am not armed, am I justified in arming myself and blowing him away because he threatened me?

Of course, I might have been holding a heat gun working on something, but the cop was threatening me..........."I felt threatened!" seems to work as a defense for them.

If a cop points a gun at you, he’d damn well better have a very good reason for doing so, otherwise you’re justified in terminating an unwarranted deadly threat.

If he did so, and the situation ends, then you have no reason to harm him later.

My word, some of you have no comprehension of the justified use of deadly force.
