Ultra violent events like mass shootings are an exception not a rule . And not a justification to turn cops into a military. The lives saved are not worth the abuse risked .
On the other hand i reject the idea the cops have the right to shoot you for resisting or because they may think you have a gun
But on the last hand i agree there are instances where killing is justified. But as a last resort . Not a first response .
People resisting should not be killed. Eric Garner's death was a shame. Many police shoot sooner than they should. I judge case by case with whatever evidence we have available to us. When a command is being yelled at them and they still decide to continue to reach for something and ignore the command, it's hard for me to feel too sorry for them though (outside of the obvious feeling sorry for everyone because none of us have free will). If the person appears to be mentally disabled or something like that, then police should be more patient with them of course.
