Is it really murder if you break into a car and surrender when the cops arrive? What about this real-world example from the same article: "In 2015, when he was fifteen, LaKeith and four friends broke into two unoccupied homes in Millbrook, Alabama, to steal Xbox games and other electronics. A neighbor called the police, who appeared, guns drawn. LaKeith ran into the woods, and one of the officers shot and killed his friend, sixteen-year-old A’Donte Washington, who they said had a gun. The prosecution alleged that one of the older teen-agers had fired a shot, and a grand jury found that the officer’s use of force was “justified.” LaKeith was charged as an adult with murder, for the killing at the officer’s hand." Is a 15-year-old really a murderer when a police shoots his friend for stealing Xbox games? Elsewhere in the world, murder usually means a premeditated killing. This is something completely else.
