What if we applied the same laws that you are I use for self defense to police officers or government officials? It is just a question that we may need to ponder for several reasons. The first is that it might reduce accidental shootings because, as is the case in most states, the police go by different rules. This may make some officers feel that they are above the law and can do things that non police officers can't. A weapon for an officer has always been for one purpose which was self protection. I don't think it was a part of police officer apprehension procedures so there is no reason to have special rules for the police with regards to the use of a weapon so if a dangerous criminal attacked a police officer he could as much force as anyone else is allowed under self defense laws.
