Ending a deadly, murderous rampage takes moral precedence over due process of the criminal. If you want to live to go through a multi-million dollar years-long trial, you have to surrender.

You are right. They use snipers when they have the shot so I dont see how this is a due process issue. I mean it could be made out to be one but seems like a stretch. Had been reading some Murray (((Rothbard))) recently and he had advocated Judge Dredd style policing. I found it interesting.
