Are you afraid of the police?
I am. Anyone who can legally shoot you is cause for alarm.

They can only legally shoot you if it is justified.
Otherwise if they shoot you it is illegal.
I presume that you are talking about the police in the US.

@BlueRain Yes it is. If a police shooting isn't justified then it is illegal. And there have been cases where American courts have held cops to account for illegal shootings. Though I have to admit there have been cases where courts have failed to hold cops accountable for illegal shootings. Usually due to the same rules of law and burden of proof that protect non-cops.
