(2)Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense against a person(s) in circumstances presenting an imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm (e.g. sabotage of an occupied facility by explosives).
(3)Nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of a nuclear weapon or nuclear explosive device.
(4)Special nuclear material. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of special nuclear material from an area of a fixed site or from a shipment where Category II or greater quantities are known or reasonably believed to be present.
(5)Apprehension. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to apprehend or prevent the escape of a person reasonably believed to: (i) have committed an offense of the nature specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) 1 of this section; or (ii) be escaping by use of a weapon or explosive or who otherwise indicates that he or she poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the protective force officer or others unless apprehended without delay.
1 These offenses are considered by the Department of Energy to pose a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm. (b)Additional Considerations Involving Firearms. If it becomes necessary to use a firearm, the following precautions shall be observed:
(1) A warning, e.g. an order to halt, shall be given, if feasible, before a shot is fired.
(2) Warning shots shall not be fired.

Whenever they want. More people need to realize that cops have a license to kill and can murder you any time for any reason as long as they say "I felt my life was in danger." People will say that's an overreaction, but it's not. It's true. ---

nah they'll just tell you to crawl towards them and shoot you when you don't crawl "right".
I'd rather take disobeying officer orders charges than risk losing my life tbqh.
people have been shot either way. the truth is no matter what the rules or guidelines say, we've seen time and time again that they're able to make up the rules as they go, claim it was out of "fear", and no one will question it. That's the bull shit people are trying to stand up against.
The incident I'm specifically talking about is the case of Daniel Shaver. They had him on the ground with his hands up. they didn't just go up and apprehend him. they told him to crawl towards them. they wanted him to crawl in a way that caused his shorts to slip off of him so he was shot as he was trying to crawl and keep his pants up at the same time. He was shot and the officer was acquitted. Should it even have gotten to the point where he was asked to crawl like that? ---
