    A soldier killing an enemy soldier during a war is a “lawful killing”. Capital punishment is “lawful killing”. There’s probably a bunch of ways that police kill people that is “lawful”. And maybe there are different accidental deaths that are considered “not unlawful killings”? But I’m no law doctor.

      Ok that’s fair. It just seems in the context of the article to be kinda weirdly put. But maybe it’s just me.
