37. Should it be legal to shoot citizens on a "Perceived Threat"

was also an argument we had

And yes I do believe they are shooting unarmed citizens and being cleared of all wrong doing based on a "Perceived Threat"

Which by itself I don't believe passes the 4 point test. And I also question should it pass the test for "Reasonable". My question is it Reasonable to fire before being able to determine the civilian has the Ability. Many of these cases the officer already has his weapon drawn and aimed at the civilian. At this point the civilian has not produced a weapon, has not aimed the "Perceived" weapon, and has does not have his finger on the trigger of the "Perceived" weapon.

At what point do we say the cop clearly had the advantage and even the most law enforcement sympathetic person could understand the officer could wait to make SURE the "Perp" had the ABILITY
