Procedure is purely an IC issue. Your argument stems from
>is this suspect(s) dangerous enough to warrant opening fire / attempting to detain. Are they an active threat? Y/N
6 seconds before your 'group' / the person he was shooting had shot and killed a cop. Is the officer than warranted to use deadly force to put down a cop killer Y/N ?
Answer is yes.
Were you initially targeted or hit in the incident? Y/N No
You looped back around, got behind the Officer and attempted to kill him. Is he warranted to use deadly force to defend himself? Y/N Yes
Could you have escaped had you not opened fire and just left? Y/N Yes
If you thought it was a minge you could have not involved yourself by taking a conscious decision to open fire and called staff.
"Officers may not execute suspects, they must make an effort to arrest a suspect and when possible render aid to a bleeding suspect."
This rule does not apply since the person he opened fire on had killed a cop, valid use of force.
The main argument for the other rule you cited stems from 'if you had been in the group which he shot at, took damage and returned fire' but you avoided the flurry of bullets as they were not directed at you, got behind the officer and intentionally made the decision to shoot. Once behind him you can't claim you were defending yourself as the victim to an aggressor.
I fail to see how the police RP was 'broken' here.
