As a result, “Nearly all agree that when an officer is confronted with a deadly threat, the appropriate response is to use deadly force” (Lind). Yes, there are plenty of people who can pose a deadly threat to police officers because of the way they act, but there are plenty of innocent people who don't affect anyone and still have to be part of the problem for no reason given . Although a police officer's appropriate response is to use deadly force against someone, there should be other alternatives or means they can use before using deadly force and possibly causing loss of life. to someone. I certainly understand that there are some situations where a police officer comes across someone who is pointing a gun or knife at them and approaches them. So therefore, maybe using deadly force would be the right thing to do if they did it too, but before using deadly force they should at least try to deploy tasers or use ball guns to try to take them.
