Imo, giving LE carte blanche on when someone needs to die is the current core problem with LE-Public relations.
Another point I look forward to hearing about this LE shooting is, when the officers were pulling the teens from the car, reportedly moments after the shooting, was the car in park? If so, who put the car in park? Or was it up against a building or fence that would render the vehicle stable so it wouldn't roll? I would like to think the officers were not pulling people from a vehicle that would potentially roll - the officers and the people being pulled out would be at risk.
Imo, it will matter who put the car in park and when, if in fact it was put in park. If it was the driver, before she died, the teens inside will know. If it was LE after the fact, the teens inside will know. A pivotal moment imo.
Seems to me that carte blanche is only given when the perp is attempting to kill an officer or someone else or occasionally when a dangerous felon is fleeing and considered a violent danger to others. If someone opens fire on a cop then turns and runs, they are going to be taken down if possible. They are a public danger.
