Best Answer

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.
