It depends whether the level of force used is reasonable under the circumstances. All police shootings will come up before a review board to determine this. Obviously if a cop is about to be assaulted by you, he can shoot you if you ignore his verbal warning to comply. And that is the same for any armed citizen. It's self-defence. Applies equally to cops as much as to any law-abiding citizen. Cops however have a wider power not only to self-defence and arrest, they can also pre-empt. So, just like the example you quoted, if you rob a bank and start running away when a cop orders you to stop. The cop is entitled to put a bullet in your back even if you do not pose a direct threat to him because he was carrying out his course of duty to prevent crime and also justified owing to the seriousness of the offence. As to whether an armed citizen have the same right to shoot a fleeing robber in the back if they happen to stumble across a robbery.....things are not as clear. Contrary to what most people tend to think, armed citizens and general citizens have no 'law enforcement' status. You are limited purely to self-defence and if you are not under direct threat, it's debatable if you are allowed to shoot a fleeing robber in the back. Still, that will not prevent you coming to the aid of others.....the only vague part is, if you are not with law enforcement, whether you are entitled under law to shoot fleeing felons, who do not pose a direct, immediate threat.</blockquote>
