Depends on the assault genius. The moment a cop feels his life is in danger is the moment he can shoot.
That's EXTREMELY subjective. So if a 95 year old person accidentally bumps a cop while walking down the street, and the cop feels like his life is in danger, he can shoot the old person?

Now this is an extreme example.
I recognize that. I am just pointing out the flaw that there has to be some parameters of what constitutes a cops life being in danger. Is there? I am sure there are some guidelines surrounding this. It can't be as simple, "if you feel your life is in danger, shoot."
