RE: Ethics of drone killing on American soil?
I agree that more non-lethal options would be better. I wonder if the suspects demise in most mass shootings is due more to the willingness of police to kill or the commitment of the shooter to the path they chose and what they see as the ultimate outcome.
If you know someone is targeting you specifically then would you hesitate to take them out at the best opportunity? I think in cases where you're dealing with a maniac who is killing random people, if the opportunity presents itself to take the person out how would you justify not doing so?
I don't blame the cops in the instance where they are being killed. They do what they have to do in order to survive a war against them.
