Likewise, I have never seen protests etc. etc. when an officer used lethal force to eliminate a perp who was on top of said officer, severely beating him or her. That would be justified IMO. That is what I am saying here.
It is frustrating being condemned because I believe LE should use lethal force as an absolute last resort to save themselves or someone else in immediate danger.
That it is what I believe because I feel abuse of authority is a crime as despicable as murder, molestation, rape etc. When you condemn me, that is the thought process you are condemning.
The reason you have not seen that is because cops do not wait until being 'severely' beaten to begin shooting.
Darryl Wilson, case in point. Once M Brown punched him in the head, the officer reached for his gun immediately. But you still had many people saying it was unjustified for him to do so. How many blows to the head are sufficient before a cop can justify shooting?
