It may be that my sarcasm detector is in need of a tune-up, but in which states are cops "allowed" to kill suspects?
Are you referring to situations where police officers shot and killed a suspect because they thought he/she posed a threat to themselves and/or others? Or are you offering up a commentary on abuse of power by the police?
Sorry, but I'm genuinely curious.
