Once an officer can justify the need to use deadly force it doesn't matter what means he uses. It could be Baton, butter knife or running you over with a vehicle. To justify deadly force the general standard is to protect himself or others from death or grievous bodily harm. There are many rules on deadly force and they can vary on department or state. For instance using a Baton above the nipples can be considered deadly force by some Departments. If you spray an officer with pepper spray he/she could be justified in using deadly force. Most department I know use a 1 + 1 theory of control. Using a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being presence and 10 being Deadly force. An Officer is allowed to use at least one level above the level of force being exerted by a subject. For instance if you pull away from an Officer he/she can use a control hold or empty hand control. If it escalates and you attempt to strike an officer with a closed fist he can spray you with a chemical aerosol and so on. Of course each situation is different and it can go from 1 to 10 in a heartbeat.
When actions that are willful, criminal, negligent, cause the death of someone else. Failure to use rules of self defense. Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy must coexist to justify the use of deadly force. When deadly force is used and these three elements do not coexist, the police officer is responsible for the death.
