cops can murder the citizens.
Yes. That shouldn't be acceptable.
@bijouxbroussard: if the cops life in in danger, yes they should be able to.
@WhyCantIJustBeAmber: but is self-defense "murder" ? I maintain it is [b]not.[/b]
@bijouxbroussard: ending another life is murder. There are TYPES of murder like self defence, but you're still taking a life.
@WhyCantIJustBeAmber: that is incorrect. This is the dictionary definition of murder

"kill (someone) unlawfully and with premeditation."

I don't know where you are, but in the U.S., this is the [i]legal[/i] definition

"Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought."

Ergo, self-defense is [b]not[/b] murder.
