I didn't ignore it, I asked for clarification.  You don't have to bust windows or enter a building to set it on fire.  Hence my question.

"Adults" understand that "shoot the mob" can't mean shoot indiscriminately,
but they can't understand that "breaking into windows and doors" is a limiting determination--clarification?

Especially if another option is offered for those running around out side--even if they present as arson threats?

Geez, Dill. It's almost like we're discovering how difficult it is for LEO's to make these types of split second decisions.  You can't be consistent in this regard with hours to mull the scenario over.

If I think it's ok to shoot someone breaking into a police station with possibly lethal intent,

By that logic I'd have to conclude that lethal force agains Babbit was not warranted, 

like arson is the only potential danger there can be?
