Why?

  You’re asking me to defend a position I don’t entirely agree with now, which is always dangerous… I believe the argument is that deliberately killing another person is always wrong. It does’t matter if it’s in self defense - taking a life is such a morally abhorrent thing to do that it’s always indefensible. It’s always murder. Some who wouldn’t go that far would still argue that for police to do it - people who are in a position of power, and who should know there are risks associated with the job of protecting society - is indefensible even if it would not be for a regular person. Not my position - self defense if you know you’d otherwise die is, I think, morally justified. But I can see the argument.
