Officer "Why did you shoot him"
Scared dude "Well, he said he was going to kill me and charged at me, he's like twice my size. So I pulled out my gun and shot him."

Officer "Had he actually hit you/assaulted you at that point?"

Scared dude "Um, no, but if I waited till he did, I wouldn't have been able to shoot him. Was I supposed to wait for him to beat me up?"

Officer "Yes, you can't use lethal force on someone just because he threatened you. You are under arrest"

Scared Dude "But....but...you said that guy had a warrent for felony assault and murder!! If I hadn't shot him, I might be dead right now"

Officer "Sorry bub, thats the law. You shot an unarmed man who had not actually commited any crime against you, you can take it up with the judge"

Scared Dude "Nooooooooooooo!!"
