When are armed police officers not allowed to use deadly force when necessary?
Pretty much all the time. It might be a slap on the wrist or something when they kill someone, but giving the ahead to kill people isnt common.
The key word is when necessary.
Police are always, always, just like any citizen, authorized to use deadly force... When necessary.
When it becomes necessary, it falls into the realm of self-defense.
