Fear first, ask questions later
It seems the matter is settled. If a cop "fears" for its life, it can commit murder and get away with it. No actual threat is necessary.
If it's OK for a cop to shoot a chihuahua or a fleeing teen because it chants "I feared for my life", then it is OK for anyone else to shoot people and pets using the same excuse. Anything less is a dangerous double standard.
And, if that were consistently the case all cops would be dead. Good riddance!
Every "official" encounter with a cop is an encounter with an armed government molester who would face small consequences for murdering you-- if it faces any at all. If you don't kiss its boots fast enough, you'll scare it. That's as good as permission to murder you.
When this happens, you are experiencing a police state. But it can get worse. Unless the people targeted by cops act to stop it, it will get worse.
Whether or not you are in fear of your life when a cop is around, your life is in danger. They've created the situation. I wonder how they'll react when it comes to fruition.

I am always uncomfortable around cops even though I am not doing anything wrong. Armed goons of the state do not make me feel "safe", quite the opposite actually. Any ordinary person would never be able to use the excuse "I felt threatened" as an excuse for murdering someone. When the government is not able to pay them with our stolen tax dollars, I wonder how loyal they will be to the hand that feeds them.
What action are you suggesting they take to stop it? Match violent action with violent response? Or pursing action against them within the legal system?
The "legal system" is on their side.
I'm thinking eventually people are going to have to listen to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Sometimes the right response to a violent rapist is violent self-defense. That's not a pleasant thing, but it's reality. And, I also realize it will make the copsuckers come to their defense. But, again, if the choice is between passively accepting your own murder or being made out to be a bad guy by copsuckers, there's no good option. Do what you must. I will NEVER grieve for a dead archator.
