It is difficult to take this article as other than satire. Obviously, when you have a sniper killing Police, you do not have any reasonable argument for not using necessary force to stop the killing. That the Police had a more effective weapon in a gun fight initiated by the sniper, has nothing to do with Due Process--that does not come into play until the ongoing felony has been arrested.
If the article is serious, it is nonsensical.
