CLiven Bundy did both of those and even went on TV and told them he was gonna do it. HE was arrested not shot.

You seemed to be pointing out that if you point a gun at the police then you deserve to get shot and killed. I'm pointing out that its not always the case. Some criminals who blatantly flout the law like Bundy are allowed to surrender. How is it not relevant?

How in any way is that the same as a close grapple with a mentally derranged man who grabs a cops gun with the intention of shooting him?

Is that a joke?

Bundy said on TV how he didnt respect the at police authority. His men were on record stating that they will shoot the officers and one boasted of how he had four in his sights but they somehow managed to arrest him without killing hm. How do yonot u think they did that? Who cares. All it shows is that it IS possible to end these disputes without fatalities. Its noted also in the Bundy case that the officers were told by authorities not to escalate the situation when the confrontation broke out. Maybe a little more of that kind of discretion is needed.
