Oh, and to address the thread title, what really sucks about killing in self-defense is that even if they deserved it, even if there were no other way to save yourself or others, you're still killing someone. Cops get paid leave and free counseling when they have to do it because they should. Civilians get scrutinized, probably arrested, maybe tried for murder, and then have to pay for counseling on their own. I've been told it's easy to brush off and put in the back of your mind if you're at war, the other guy is shooting at you, and you pop him from hundreds of feet away, but self defense is an up-close-and-personal thing, it's really rough even if you had to do it.
