Yes, but the 'shooter' wasn't a citizen, he was a police officer who had been assaulted.
Right. So agents of the state are exempt from laws that apply to the rest of us 'plebes'. Gotcha.
While we would be charged with murder for something similar, anyone with a badge is exempt from the same standards that govern the rest of us.
Cops have a license to kill whenever they feel threatened.
Terrific. Explains why so many pets are shot by cops these days too.
