That's just too much of a grey area. How do you determine when someone has given up those rights? In this case it may seem easy, but what about others? Unless the guy is in the act of threatening a life, you have to do whatever you can to take him alive. I know there are times that isn't possible, but this whole argument is about whether it should be allowed.
If you are saying by killing people and not turning themselves in they are giving up those rights, then are rights given up whenever the law is broken and you don't turn yourself in? I just worry about opening a can of worms. Cops need to do everything possible to take a guy in, no matter what the circumstances were leading up to or currently happening in a situation.
