Well, suppose you've got some guys fortified in some bunker with machine guns up in the appalachians refusing to submit to valid arrest. Are you really saying the police or the military arn't allowed to go blow up the bunker if they have to? Suppose you know for a fact that if you try to make a non-deadly arrest you're going to be greeted with machine gun fire and it's pretty much guaranteed multiple officers are going to die. I am as pro civil liberties as the next guy but in that situation I don't see how you can tell the police they have to die to safeguard the suspect's rights when the suspect is pointing a machine gun at them and clearly is not going to go quietly.
That has some eery similarities to Ruby Ridge where the feds shot and killed a 12 year old boy and an unarmed woman holding a newborn, all because they were afraid of serving a warrant for selling a sawed off shotgun.
