Try again. We already said that ALL non violent means have been exhausted. No one wants to use to lethal force if it can be avoided. Now you are tasked with defending the prisoner and preventing any further damage.
The mob is about to attack you, you have a machine gun, and everything else has failed, what are you going to do? Tick toc tick toc.

The consequences at this point are an after thought. In the present moment, your duty is to protect the prisoner and defeat the mob. Are you going to shoot to kill or are you going to step aside and let them kill the prisoner as they did? Give us a genuine answer.

Forget about me. Even you would not even use a machine gun. You would run thinking of your family being the first and knowing the consequences of using firearm towards an angry mob. I already said I bet on it. Still do. :)**

You are being completely unrealistic just for the sake of winning the argument.**

Its easy to be a keyboard saint such that you are, but when you have actual responsibilities then you have to make choices. You would run only if you do NOT have the capacity to defend the place. HOWEVER, in our situation, YOU HAVE THE MEANS OF PREVENTING THE MOB, and that involveS shooting them dead. You as a police officer are allowed to and are required to stop this mob by all means. Now, decide are you going to employ the means to stop this mob, which means killing, or are you going to run instead and let them take the prisoner?

**My dear, you cannot prevent an angry mob. Just cannot. Read the news and similar scenarios.

Even the countries/police force with all the means available at their disposal cannot completely deter an angry mob. These police forces know lethal means will only make the matter worse. Wake up to reality..now!** **

Try to think, your bleeding heart is affecting the your reasoning skills. All the non violent solutions you gave me I could have dictated to you. The question is of what you would do at the moment, not before or after. But at that moment, if you had the means,

No you did not bring the non-violent solutions. Didn’t even think about these, in the heat of your emotions.

Now can I have the answer?

Where in the world any civilized and fully equipped police force uses lethal force/shooting real bullets/machine gun against an angry civilion mob even as the last resort?
Third time I am asking the same question.

If you cannot answer the question, then ..never mind.
