You and the other guy here want to try to skirt around the one single damning issue. HE WAS UNARMED.


A man breaks into your home in the middle of the night, loudly enough you hear the shattering glass downstairs. You flip on some lights to see what's going on and he fires a gun somewhere in the house. Terrified, you call the police to report a break in by an armed intruder. The cops show up and the guy runs out the back door. Cops tase him but he gets away. He goes down the wrong alley and when cornered at a dead end reaches for his waist.

This is the information you have. Armed suspect attempts to flee. Police have already tried a non-lethal takedown. He makes a hostile action. If he finishes drawing his weapon someone could be hurt or killed. Based on this information, should the police use lethal force?

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?
