If the guy does something that forces the cops to shoot him then I don't have an issue with it. But at some point in this thread it became almost a hypothetical of if the cops should be allowed to kill him just to stop the risk of more things. About the argument with the fire. That's what I have an issue with. It may suck, but unless they are in immediate danger with this guy killing him is not right. And when I say not right, I don't say it with any sympathy towards the guy, I say it about our system and protecting it.
Cops don't have the right to be judge and jury. In order to protect this, you can't give it to them ever, not even in an obvious situation.
