Reply #96: At first blush, my gut response is "of course they do." Then I get to thinking about real life...

[Better Today]

in real life, many suspects (note I am not assuming guilt here, so as not to incur the wrath of those suggesting our gov't might not have it's facts right) end up being shot and killed before they have a chance at a fair trial. Some are shot while caught in a criminal act, some are shot during a chase after a criminal act (at this point it begins to be unclear if the chasee is really the perp), and some are shot days or months later when warrants are attempted to be served. It's not like our regular alleged criminals all get a chance at a trial.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems that being brought in alive is not being excluded here, he can come in and have his trial, they might be able to capture to him and bring him in. It's just that if none of that occurs, the door has been opened to fire upon him.

Yesterday some posted a question akin to "is this the same as 'WANTED: DEAD or ALIVE'" and I think it probably is, and though that may or may not be acceptable anymore when referring to the most wanted lists, I'm guessing that being on the most wanted list is sort of an open door for law enforcement to do whatever is necessary to capture or kill that person if capture isn't viable.

Just my two cents.
