    Generally speaking, they have to prove that they were in fear of their life, or of the life of another, to use lethal force. Generally.

    There are some exceptions too. For example, in some agencies, an officer is authorized to use lethal force to stop a convicted felon from escaping custody, *if* he knows that if the felon escapes then he will kill another person (a specific person).

    For example, if a felon is about to escape, and has promised to kill his ex-girlfriend for testifying against him, and the officer has no other way to stop him from escaping other than killing him, he has authorization.

    I think they shouldn't use deadly force, but enough force to immobilize the suspect.

    Yep, the guy who claimed he had a bomb in a plane, but had some sort of mental illness...

    If it's true, like the story says, that he swung at an officer... well he should have know better...

    Click... Click... Bang... Nuff said :D Don't fuck with Cops. They are assholes but more importantly they have guns and laws that allow them to shoot you if you fuck up, so don't fuck up :)
