sucks, but why walk away from cops and try to get in your vehicle if they're aiming at you? it's not gonna work
So let me get this straight. The military is able to follow strict rules of engagement but the police can't? I've heard the "heat of the moment" excuse before and it doesn't hold up. Consider this, an army checkpoint is being encroached upon by an accelerating vehicle. It could contain explosives, combatants, or just civilians. They must follow proper procedure and use hand signals, flares, smoke, warning shots, and disabling shots.
But "oh there was a gun" is somehow a reasonable excuse for the police force? Notice how it's always was there a gun wasn't there a gun not why the hell did they kill him? This is a carelessness in the police force, the legislators that regulate the police, and the training provided to them.
The problem is this - nobody wants to be the one who shot second. The cop killing and cops killing has become so fucking ridiculous, and the news is fucking hyping it up to such epic proportions, that both sides at this point are so paranoid and trigger happy that they don't want to be the ones getting shot. And comparing the police to the military is just...juvenile. Though I do agree that shooting first and asking questions later is NOT the way the police are supposed to function. They are upholders of the law, not executioners.
Well the reason I compare the police and military is because of training. Yes it's going to be vastly different but at the same time I believe that police training isn't standardized the same way the military is. I live in Dallas and the unique thing here is the relationship the police force has with the metroplex as it's one of, if not the best in the country. Sadly there were still police officers here that got killed because of violence elsewhere. At the same time you still don't see Dallas PD or any PD in the metro committing these acts whatsoever.

In your ignorant opinion, "premeditated" is a glorious word and requires 3 months of planning. In law, however, killing someone with a gun, when someone is holding his hands up, is an intentional harm, therefore, first degree murder. If that was you killing that man, not a police, your verdict would have been finalized by now, sending you to the chair or prison for life time.
