When is it morally acceptable for police to use deadly force against a suspect?
Is it ever appropriate to use deadly force against a suspect who is restrained? What if the suspect tries to run away? What if the suspect announced a gun is in their possession but doesn't brandish it? What about a unarmed woman calling for help - is she a deadly threat? The Minneapolis Police evidently train their officers to shoot in each of these scenarios.

I'd say if a suspect is pointing a gun straight at a police officers face. That's the only time.

It sounds like you're anti-rule of law. When is it morally acceptable to break the law? Before answering, make sure you understand the definition of "moral" - it doesn't appear that the concept is very clear to you.

IMO, only when (A) the suspect is placing someone else's life in imminent danger, or (B) the suspect has already proven he is an imminent, armed danger to others (by, for example, having killed someone very recently, or by having killed several people in a sort of spree) *** "Is it ever appropriate to use deadly force against a suspect who is restrained?" - Only if that person can somehow meet one of the two previous "qualifications" (and it would be a very unusual case for someone to be able to do so).
