Self defense? Only on the battlefield? Only to achieve a ‘noble’ end?

I would agree those are unreasonable uses of force. And bad raids don't end with LEO getting shot nearly enough.

The comment I was replying to mentioned someone stealing a TV through a window if I'm not mistaken, and that's what I'm referring to. But if you decide to force your way into someone's house, it's not on them to interrogate you to determine your intent. I have respect for people that would risk themselves in a situation they didn't create, but I don't think it's reasonable to force everyone to behave as tho the guy that just broke your window or forced his way into your house is just there for a cup of tea.
