If you were mistakenly identified as a criminal and the cops started shooting at you, would you shoot back?

People are confusing right and wrong, with legality.

I can't see how it's right from a moral or a legal standpoint.
When armed criminals are considered victims of police brutality after being shot, and then portrayed in the press as anything but a violent criminal who got his just deserts, we should also be seriously worried.
Is that a trick question?
Shoot back with what?
Good thing the cop wasn't white, otherwise this would of been international news and everyone would of started caring about the victim.
Atm it just means less wasted tax payers money, less overcrowded prisons
That means current prisoners can live in more comfort in jail before they get released with their new found connections and education so that they can rob and kill people as a bigger group.
Are you one of those people that takes ages to make his pointless?If you were mistakenly identified as a criminal and the cops started shooting at you, would you shoot back?
Good riddance! It is horrible to watch anyone die but the world is better off without that scum. Since he'd already shot at the police there is a good chance he would have killed someone in the future. His case docket would disappear and he would have been out on the street looking to rob/kill us.

Objection your honour! Relevance!
In other words, wtf has that got to do with anything? He was not innocent, he had just moments before tried to kill the cop that shot him, and he would likely have done it again if/when he was free.
What has that got to do with mistaken identity? Are you trying to shift the goalposts here?
Oh, and of course executions are ONLY ok when done by a black mob in a township environment when killing suspected criminals as part of a "kangaroo court" THEN it is ok, because no-one is ever prosecuted for that.
Reality does not equal the dream world we sometimes pretend to live in. These cops 100% saved the life of some future victims.
Cops themselves have given me the names and details of at least 3 lawyers who are the choice of most of Jhb's criminals, who have the ability to pay judges and prosecutors, and the cases are thrown out for stupid reasons.I would have thought that unless he was very highly connected the act of shooting at police would have made it impossible for his docket to disappear.
Firstly, the question was related to you saying that you would do the same thing yourself. Would that include defending yourself against police as well?
Secondly, kangaroo courts are wrong in every way possible. The cops are going after the gangs and people responsible for taking the law into their own hands. Perhaps you should have your reality checked.
