  1. 1) Justified. Easily. 2) Not justified. He was a crazy man with a knife, but he wasn't threatening anyone. I can understand a cop's desire not to let a crazy man with a knife get away, but them's the breaks. 3) Justified. Despite repeated warnings, she'd closed to a distance where a quick dash could get those scissors through his throat. 4) Justified, for the same reason as #3. It's sad when this happens to the mentally unstable, but if it comes to killing them or putting a cop at immediate risk of death or serious injury, the cop has a right to kill in order to save his own life. In fact, cop or not, I would have given any citizen with a legal right to possess a firearm the same verdict. That might not hold for those states with a duty to retreat, but I cannot expect law enforcement to just come back the next day and hope the person is feeling more cooperative, especially in case #4 where, if I understand correctly, the decedent had been battering someone.

  2. None of the net guns I see look all that effective for use with humans. If we can arrange for law enforcement to be bitten by radioactive spiders, this alternative might become more practical.
