Due process of law is supposed to consist of a trial and conviction by jury.
The police know they can’t charge a person with having a gun in a state where it’s legal to carry a gun. By killing the person they are not doing their job of enforcing the law. They are deciding that the law will not suffice.
They don't claim to execute people in the name of the law. The claim is self defence. That's if there is a claim, some officers just say they don't know why they did it and so on, I mean there's lots of situations but I don't think many claim to be doing it in the name of the law as part of an execution.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
