It’s not about logic, it’s about being forced to submit to authority under threat of death. Some people think that system makes them safer, because they don’t believe it will ever be used against them.
Downvoted for being right despite the people below not understanding hors de combat.
Fleeing does not mean surrender. Being injured enough to not be able to fight, essentially unconscious is another. You can also shoot someone if you reasonably believe they’re commiting perfidy. These are protected by the Geneva convention and war crimes themselves.
K, but that’s not what we are talking about here. These aren’t just people that are out to hurt others. Nobody has a problem with police officers dealing people that are a danger because they’re shooting at people.
What is it with everyone thinking that running away means you should die?

Not everyone. Just the trigger-happy, psycho bullies with badges think that.
so all cops. even federal ones.
That about sums it up, yeah
Both cops and military are taught you can shoot someone running away if you reasonably believe they will harm others.
this is so far from the truth. stfu about shit you know nothing about. shooting at a fleeing ‘suspect’ or ‘combatant’ is a big no no.
It’s a war crime.

You got links but do you have scars and a DD214? Because I highly doubt you’ve come anywhere close to a uniform let alone a battle.
If you’re running away to plan on killing or seriously harm more people, then yes lol.
Also half the reason the law works is due to fear of injury or isolation. It’s the underlying threat to every law and social norm for humanity.
Edit: and let’s not kid that isolation isn’t just physical harm lol.
