I do not agree.It depends on the circumstances. I mentioned the serial killer in my neighborhood from a couple months back. He was being searched for based on a sketch and various information. He had already killed five people. If he were found and tried to run, it was absolutely imperative that he be stopped; if he were not, it was a given that more innocent people would die. Under that circumstance, it would have been negligent for an officer to NOT use lethal force to prevent his escape if that was what it took.
Suspecting someone of, is not the same as having committed the crimes.
Lethal force should not be used even in your example.
