Damage shown from blast that stopped police-killing sniper

83. Extrajudicial would not apply either.

My point is that no one appears willing or able to produce some facts that show he was doing anything other than hiding behind a wall refusing to come out. That is not active resistance.

Actually, it is. He possessed the means and the will to resist after having just immediately engaged in a firefight with police. Just because there was an extended pause between shots does not mean he was not an active threat at that moment.

Unless you're going to claim they completely got the wrong guy the fact he was not shooting at that very moment does not constitute killing a defenseless prisoner. His lack of shooting at the moment of his death is more than likely due to an inability to acquire a target rather than any passivity on his part. If he wanted to be treated as a passive prisoner his obligation was to surrender.

So far, you have not provided any evidence that he made an effort to do so.

Look, I'm an anarchist. In my perfect world there would even be police but that doesn't mean I'm so naïve that I can't tell when someone is an active threat, even to the police.
