I would be extremely ill-at-ease shooting another human because "someone told me that the police told them it was ok under circumstances XYZ." First of all, information has a way of getting garbled in the retelling, and getting accurate information is extremely important in that situation. Second, the police deal day-in and day-out with the rules of engagement for themselves. That does not necessarily translate into knowing the rules for "civilians."
