    All men are evil. Some just can't control it.

    Of course if a civilian were to save the life of another by killing a pig, you can bet they would be seeking a penalty of death for the Good Guy. But, it is the law that it is justified to save the life of another to kill the aggressor(s).

    I was wondering the second amendment is there to protect our rights. So if these people were to do that and since they are the arm of the government we should be allowed to protect ourselves? Now in this case this didn't have the means which is unfortunate but I don't know much about the law so I am just wondering.

    Injustice is the cause of insanity. Who is really the crazy one, you when you have no emotion but the need to kill those you pre-judged, or the ones that love the idea of a justice.

    You have made your karmitic bed, good night.

    I wish I was there to save that mans life by killing the killers that have no self control.

    It is justified Homicide to kill another if they are threatening the life of another. A clear case of justified homicide if all of those pigs were sniped right there.
