Please keep in mind the context we have been talking about: home invasion police 
calls.  I have tried to make clear I'm not talking about any or all police 
call.  However I would point out that police are trained to treat *every* 
response as one that might call for the use of deadly force.  So while you may 
not be thinking of the possibility the officer sure is and it is his job to do 
so.

I don't know about the "many". I thought you were specifically
questioning a pacifist's decision to call the police.

Really? How many police killings are there in your city in a given
year? Compare that to the number of calls they go on and what
percentage do you have?
