"So government should have the option of deadly force."

They DO. So so INDIVIDUALS. But it is an OPTION under the rule of law. It is NOT carte blanche. It flows from a respect for human rights and human life. Therefore, if it is misused...the perpetrator may well face the death penalty.

The justice Department does NOT exploit deadly force. We are a civilized nation. Deadly force is illegal AND punishable except under the rarest of circumstances.
