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.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
