So that justifies the shooting of two police officers? Then under what circumstances should police be allowed to arrest someone or outnumber them?
Of course not. Difference is, he's going to jail for a very long time, maybe the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, police can kill with impunity. Cops can shooting someone in the back and get two years in jail, or kill someone begging for his life and get off scot-free. Those are the worse examples too, as most of the time it's just an internal investigation, a paid vacation, and then nothing.
What do you think justifies a cop killing a civilian?
I’m pretty sure if the two cops shot this guy in the back, they could say he took an “aggressive stance” and that they “felt threatened”, and walk away free.
That’s the key difference: why do cops get away with what regular people do not?
