Yeah, he also knows throwing grenades into buildings before he walks in, but I suspect that kind of thing would be frowned upon in civilian life.

The history of the man killed, and the training of the man who did the killing are completely irrelevant here.

The only relevant facts are:
1) Was the man who was killed an immediate threat to anyone on the train
2) Was it reasonable for the guy who killed him to keep choking him for several minutes


Even if the answer to #1 is yes, I think the answer to #2 is probably still no.
