Question

Under what conditions can a cop shoot a thief?

Answer 1

when his, or someone else's life is in immenent danger.

Answer 2

Under that situation, the police are actually more constrained from using deadly force than if it was the owner of the property.

Where I live I can, in certain circumstances, use deadly force to protect my property while the police couldn't, unless the thief were armed and threatened them.
