Were Zachary Hammond's criminal charges deemed capital punishment?
Well, if Zachary Hammond had been arrested by the police and a trial were conducted and he were convicted of the criminal offense, would he be given a capital punishment?
Why could the officer not shoot the tires of the car, Hammond was driving?
Why an arrest needed only one officer? Where are other cars to support an easy arrest?
Isn't it wrong?

I totally agree that officer should not shoot a suspect unless they have clear fear of being killed. I did not see any evidence of that kind. The laws of the state should be revised,

The reasoning used by Borel is the logic of police forces in tyrannical countries, such as the Stasi in communist-ruled East Germany during the mid-20th century. The police in more democratic countries use only the force necessary to uphold the laws.
If a suspect can be arrested later, the same day or the next, at his home, then a police officer must not shoot him merely because he is fleeing. If the suspect has a hostage, or if the suspect is, while fleeing, endangering other people, then the police officer can shoot him.
That's why, only five seconds after the shots were fired, Tiller first utters his lie: "He tried to hit me." He repeated it 50 seconds after that: "He tried to hit me with the car." He spoke the lie a third time after only eight more seconds had passed: "He tried to hit me."
It was false the first time he said it. It was false the 2nd time he said it. It was false the 3rd time he said it. And it does not matter how many times Mark Tiller (or anybody else) repeats that lie, it will always be a lie. At no moment did Zachary Hammond attempt to hit Mark Tiller with his Honda Civic. It is true that Tiller tried, unsuccessfully, to get in the way. It isn't true that this was any doing or intention of Zachary Hammond.

seem perfectly legitimate to me ...a uniformed officer with gun drawn gives you an order... only a moron would ignore that scenario
