You’d just need to be able to articulate how you believed that it was not fleeing, but pursuing another victim and thus posed a clear and present danger of death or grave bodily harm.  That’s completely separate, of course, from the political circus that would accompany such an event.  I spent some time reading police use-of-force reports and listening to them testify in court. Since then, I’ve been in two minor DGU incidents, and both times I think my ability to articulate my reasoning to cops in “their” language helped me greatly. It might be a skill worth developing — you gotta be able to save yourself after you save yourself.
