Unless the lethal force was justified in the circumstances it would be bad news for the cop who shot him. Unless the suspect put someone in danger of being killed there's no justification for lethal use of force by a police officer.
Agree?
A knife or an assault on on or more officers would allow for the use of deadly force. One only need feel threatened, believe a life is in danger. Lethal force is always allowed to save others. And one can be killed by bare hands alone.
