Many years ago, while studying Law Enforcement at Northern Oklahoma College
it was made solidly clear to our class of future Wannabe's that a citizen,
faced with an illegal arrest, IS justified in using deadly force to resist.
While I don't like the idea of "flying off the handle" and shooting someone.
Nor, the idea of "nuts with guns" blasting away for no reason.
Knowing full well that the guy across the table may well "justifiably" blow
your head off, does tend to cause just a bit more along the line of polite.
Over all, this looks like a training issue.
MV's anyone?

While this topic is way off for the list. Lets turn it around. If the
officer had gotten mauled by the dog how many of us would be criticising the
officer for not shooting the dog?
The officers were heading into a situation with little knowledge and making
the best call at the moment. In hind sight it might be wrong but at least
they are still around to regret there actions.
To put it more on topic think about how many other times in history that
members of our armed forces have been forced to make snap decisions they
regret later.
