If someone is actively attacking the police with lethal force, they already have the right to shoot that person in self defense or the defense of others. However, if you're referring to a situation where someone is not an imminent threat to anyone's safety or if they were a threat they have been subdued, then NO the police, military, border patrol etc. don't have a right to shoot that person. Remember, at least one January 6th prisoner is still in jail because they reportedly bumped into a police officer and that was considered "assaulting" a police officer. That was clearly a miscarriage of justice and a very slippery slope we should not go down.

life must be in imminent danger but I stand by it, there is no situation where you physically attack a police other than to get their gun and shoot them, border agents etc. so the perp must be killed, no question

Agree with your comments. He's just lost me as a subscriber. I was all in support of his covid content and maybe he should just stick with that. My state of TN has already passed a bill that the death penalty will be applied against child rape but like you said we have due process for a reason.

I understand. I also recently cancelled my subscription but it doesn't expire till late September. So I'll continue to comment here and there if I see an opportunity to interject something positive.

I do have a great deal of respect for everything Dr. Alexander has done to help save humanity from the deadly COVID shots, economically disastrous lockdowns, etc. I have respect for his courage and his work as a scientist. However, I cannot continue to support his work if it includes advocating for torture, legally questionable fast-tracked "special courts," mass arrests and executions that appear to be incompatible with the due process requirements of the Bill of Rights etc.

I understand his frustrations with the state of our nation and the many problems facing us. I just don't agree with his methods. If he eventually finds that everyone left on his Substack agrees with him, it will only be because he has driven away all the people with more moderate viewpoints.
