I’m not a cop lover and my reasons are personal.
But an armed perp who has committed murder already....considering the fact that he’s A. Alone B. You have a safe background ( no possibility of bullets passing through to damage or injure past the perp). A peace officer should first ask for said perp to surrender, if possible and when the answer is no......take him out before he widows you or a comrade.
You lost me completely with the hell thing. That’s between each individual and his maker and not for the cop out “ he’ll get his in the afterlife “ baloney.
You are lost completely if you do not understand the hell thing.
And there is not just an afterlife, there is something that some call instant karma. When we do something wrong, it reflects back on our own souls right here on earth. That also goes for the elite police who reinforce their own eliteness. At the very least, all killing ought to be treated the same, including killing done under questionable circumstances by elite police.
And consider there was, in this situation, a safe foreground too. This was not like a menace sitting picking off passersby was it? And if it was, then why didn’t that explanation come to the foreground rather than being some “back up argument” when the foreground principle was to Specially Treat The Elite Police?
