You're not responding to my point: I don't disagree with personal accountability, and have consistently said the issue is what actions a cop may treat as a threat to which (s)he may respond with lethal force, and why the line is drawn where it is re: what's a "threat."

As I've pointed out, there's a stark and, as far as I can see, unjustifiable gap between a threat that justifies lethal force by a cop and one that justifies lethal force by the rest of us. If you'd like to comment on that, perhaps by saying why you think such a gap is justifiable, or that's not as big a gap as I claim, or that it doesn't exist at all... we could have a discussion. Alternatively, you could reconize that I'm not arguing against cops being able to respond to threats or that people shouldn't suffer "the" consequences of their actions... but that you have a different scope for what the reasonable consequences of a given action are than I do, and then state why your scope is more reasonable than the one I've defined.

Or, we could just admit we're no longer engaging and drop the matter. Given the content of your last post, I think the choice of which is still yours.
