I was a victim and it was my own fault.

Its a case of liability and that dead men tell no lies. So its always shoot to kill for them.

Ha. If only. Police are trained to end the threat if deadly force arises. That doesn't mean shooting until someone's dead, but there are no warning shots and no shots to the knee cap. Liability for cops doesn't end if the perp is dead, far from it. Have you seen the news lately? It's entirely damned if you do and damned if you don't.

It's a crappy messed up world we live in, but in spite of the greedy dirt bag oriented society we exist in, if someone places your life in jeopardy then you better be prepared to take theirs to protect yours. Deal with the bs liability later. I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
