In none of the examples cited was there a crime being committed. One was a botched felony stop (gee, there's been a few of those lately), and the other was just pure stupidity. In neither case was the shooting anywhere near a crime scene.
Reasonable people can disagree on these cases, but these is an easy test to separate the jackboot-lickers from the rest:
Is the Environmental Protection Agency constitutional?
Is the Department of Education constitutional?
Is the Drug Enforcement Agency constitutional?
What part of "shall not be infringed" does the BATF not understand?
Do you have any unenumerated rights and what are they?
The hard core shills that never find anything wrong with any act of any LEO never provide answers to any of these questions. The "unenumerated rights" one is particularly telling, since LEOs are now trained to treat anyone who cites the Constitution as a clone of Timothy McVeigh.

A felony stop involves a suspect and is a normal part of the job. It's not simply a cop walking up and randomly shooting someone. It's different from a guy wandering around a beach in an SUV.
I can't remember the last time I heard of a cop shooting someone just for the Hell of it.

Where does the Constitution prohibit the Dept of Education?
There were around 30,000 murders last year. Probably none of them were committed by the police. But some believe the greatest threat to their life is the police. People that ignorant scare me.

We the PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish JUSTICE (officer is innocent until proven guilty), insure Domestic Tranquility (why we need LEO's), provide for the Common Defense (War on drugs & terror), promote the general Welfare (Education is better than handouts), and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity (Our environment needs protection for our children, because, unlike as some folks think, there are EVIL people out there), do ordain and Establish this Constitution for the United States Of America.
