    I just posted this in another thread, but I will redo it here for education.. IANAL - but:


    • Do the protestors have the ABILITY to kill or do serious bodily injury to yourself or another?
    • Is someone in JEOPARDY of being killed or being seriously harmed by protestors?
    • Do these protestors have the IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITY, and power, to kill or seriously harm someone


    All three need to be a resounding YES before you can even think about using lethal force. And again, can you CLEARLY articulate your rationale of those three things under intense pressure.

    In the scenario above, you should also think about proportionality/disparity of force (e.g. you are in a 2000lb car and they have no defense). Would it be better to drive over a few vs. stopping and engaging multiple.

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
