Governments killing people arbitrarily in the name of national interest will never be justified.
It's sickening

it is not justified. The primary responsibility of the police is to safeguard the lives and property of the citizens of a country. The government should reassess the work of police officers if they believe that killing individuals you are supposed to protect is their obligation. In my opinion, this is in no way justified. Police are only supposed to protect and safeguard, not kill.

There is nothing justifiable in killing young children on protests. The killing of future leaders isn't in any way protecting the National interest but destroying the Nation's future.

Honestly, I do not believe that killing someone for a country's sake is moral. All life is valuable in my opinion. I felt awful reading that section of the book because of this. Sadly, this happens frequently during most upheavals.

In my opinion, killing for state interest doesn't make any sense. If the police keep on killing anyone, there will be no one to protect. I think it wise to train our police on handling all suspects without the use of an open fire.

Nobody should perish for the sake of the country. Despite the fact that some people might agree that the country's interests come first, in my opinion it is unnecessary to kill these armless children as the book depicts them. It is a terrible situation and a terrible manner to defend the interests of the country.

Killings in the name of national interests cannot be justified. It was really unnecessary and there are better ways to handle situations other than killings young children.

The killings in this book were not justified instead it was poor decision-making on the part of the government.

When protesters lose their lives while exercising their First Amendment freedom of speech, it is indeed very terrible. As we also depend on law enforcement to ensure our security, this is undoubtedly a complicated subject. As there are now more body cameras for law enforcement and more citizen cameras, it's fortunate that there is now a lot more video evidence, allowing for a more objective evaluation of whether the use of force was justified.

It is sad that even till this day, things like that still happen. Innocent civilians with no arms get shot and killed for coming out to protest. Instead of the government to listen to these protesters, they do more harm to them and the society. They harm the people they are supposed to protect and there is no justification for such behaviour. The interest of the nation is what the people that are being killed are fighting for.
