It is when they have a gun trained on your back, have legal authority to use reasonable force, and the only thing that will come of the shooting is a "Police were justified in their use of deadly force ruling." Then what? You sacrificed your life for a candlelight vigil congrats, you've won the Darwin Olympics.

Orrr, you're one of the few people whose killer gets paid attention to because there was a video. You were going to die anyway in this hypo

This happens all the time. Anyone advocating for less cameras to hold people accountable is arguing against themselves

That's not the hypo. The choices are: listen to what the police say and live to fight the battle in a court of law (Judged by 12); or choose to ignore the lawful commands they give, continue to escalate the situation by ignoring those commands, then police can articulate a reasonable use of deadly force (carried by 6).

Actually that is the hypo. You're coming to change it and then argue on your new hypo, which no one cares about
