I kind of disagree with that. There are no absolutes.
I'm not convinced of it, but lets just say that the kid says to the cops, I have a bomb, hand grenade whatever. then reaches into his jacket or the seat beside him that the cop can't see from his position. The cop has two choices, one is to wait and see which means that if he's wrong people will die. Or he can choose to believe the person and end their life.
I am in no way defending the cop here, I don't know enough.
None of us were on the train, due process has to be carried through.
