I think you might be misremembering what the term means.
Out of or beyond the power authority of a court or judge; beyond jurisdiction; not valid as a part of a judicial proceeding
This is very much an extrajudicial killing. Justified sure, apparently. I’m pretty uncomfortable with how willing this community is to parrot the Blue Lives Matter talking points, though that’s whatever. I understand the need people have for vindictive pleasure, and I sure hope that’s all this is.
I was going to say the same thing, but the courts have let plenty of police murderers go unpunished, so I suppose that means the courts have given them that authority.
The need to preemptively dismiss criticism of your sources kinda speaks to a personal doubt in the validity of said sources, but that article seems fine so I don’t know why you felt the need to do that? You’re all good as far as I can tell! I don’t actually see anything there I’m in disagreement with though. Thank you for being thorough!

That’s not an unreasonable point. Though it might drive me to drinking again if I think about it too hard.

Oh right, duh, sorry. Lemmy is on the whole so nice that I somehow forgot just how far discourse has fallen elsewhere.
