If police are inside and a "mob" is trying to break in to burn down a police station with police inside, then I won't whine if police shoot people breaking through the door. I wouldn't condone firing indiscriminately into a crowd massing outside, though, even if some are carrying torches and shouting "burn the place down."
If people milling around outside break up a park bench and set it on fire on the doorstep, then tear gas and rubber bullets.
Who said anything about shooting indiscriminately into a crowd? If people outside the building are attempting to light the station on fire are you ok with the officers shooting the people attempting to start the fire?
