Don't get me started. I always thought that a crook had to actually have a gun on him for a police shooting to be justified. There has been like a million crime dramas which centered on that very question, usually involving frantic searches by a pal to find out what had become of it as the cop in question is looked at with increasing suspicion. Excuses like "I thought she had a gun" or "He made a move that made me think he was going for a gun" would never have been acceptable if the dead guy didn't actually have a gun on or near him (hence the old time cop practice of carrying "drop guns") but now apparently that's all they need to say in order to get away with executing people.
