If they had surrended to authorities some time after murdering the children would they shoot them onsight?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

they would detain them and the shooters would be put on trial.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I recently heard it was one guy.

No. Police Officers have a strict code they have to adhere to. If he had come out with his hands up and weapons down they would have had to arrest him.

No. The only time they would shoot them is if they wouldn't put down their weapon.

Police are not there to kill bad guys, just to arrest them so they can have a trial.

Why though? They are already beyond the law, and besides they are just going to sit on taxpayer dollars until the already innevitable death sentence.

Because the rule of law is the one thing seperating us from beasts. We have due process, end of story. If you don't respect that, leave.

Our society has rules on how we do things.

Innocent until proven guilty

Cops can't kill suspects who surrender peacefully, that would be murder.

Because that's the way the law works.

Because that's how the law works in the US. Everyone gets a fair trial, even mass murderers.

They just got done killing 26 children and yet they are allowed to live until the sentence? Thats pretty infuriating if you ask me.

Was it really necessary to make a whole new thread about? Couldn't you have just asked this in the other thread?

Infuriating? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely. If we allowed police to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner, things would be very different in this country.

Anyway, the shooter killed himself, so don't worry about him living to see his trial.

Just look at the countries where police can assault or kill suspects without repercussion.

They aren't the ones you'd like to live in.

It mostly depends on the cops in the situation. A lot of cops obey the codes but there are some cops who are more reckless and will throw aside the rules for a few moments.

Also a lot of the families affected would want him to go to trial because they then feel like justice is served. It doesn't really matter though because the shooter is dead.

How is it a fair trial when he's just going to get killed anyway?
