It's all one huge grey area. Even obvious disparity of force isn't obvious justification. Picture yourself as the 5' 2" 150lb guy who managed to irritate the 250lb 6' 4" bodybuilder and now he's giving you the "tough guy" chest bump. You know, we can all picture it, hands held waist high, out from the body, palms up, chest puffed, bouncing off your chest with his, going "W'sup tough guy, eh? You think you tough?"

Obvious disparity of force, but he's not done anything that justifies shooting him.

Laws broken, probably. Bad situation with likelihood of getting worse, probably. You shoot him, you go to jail.
