Edited for you boro (edit: meh time limit gone for editing, but I'll retract that statement until I can find any quotes that assert the same. I'm certain someone recently said that it was okay to shoot a poor person stealing bread, but it may have been a vulgar conservative troll not a decent AC debater), been nipping into the tequila pre cinco de mayo and it has me a little feisty. rest of the post holds though.
yes my reply was to Phil, but in response to your strawman assertion Copernicus. I'm positing a situation where I'm actively throwing teargas canisters back at police officers after they have given a lawful order to get off property that I don't own which i am refusing. Is it justifiable for them to shoot me or not?

Force should be used only in sufficient strength to quell the immediate threat and to eliminate the risk of it escalating. An isolated individual throwing a tear gas canister can be subdued without killing them, and there is no threat of escalation.
