I do really believe this to be the case. I rationalize it as a necessary thing to do in some cases as a law enforcement tool. The best example I can think of is a police sting operation. This a legal technique that the police use to enforce certain laws. It is a practical solution.

Another example is an armed bank robbery. If the bank robbers have guns are are shooting at the police, should the police not be allowed to shoot back?
If the bank robbers speed away in the get-away car, should the police maintinan the legal speed limit while chasing them? It comes down to what is practical.
