trying to make legible my beliefs about violence through induction so far: 1. Mobs beating the shit out of a guy putting up no resistance: dislike 2. Actually Good: https://twitter.com/ZackFord/status/1085005610901479424 …

From a selfish pov, it's unlikely but possible that the legal system could mistake me for a criminal and wrongfully put me to death. But there is no way a random woman will mistake me for a mugger.

Maybe someone who looks like they might be a mugger due to racism or just due to being very big and intimidating would think differently.

Morality should not change very much if there are cameras around, so you still have to decide how you feel about the general case. It would be a strange rule if a victim were allowed to shoot the mugger only when there are cameras around.

You can't ask that sort of thing from the victims, but maybe we can from police? Imagine if police were only allowed to shoot to kill only if they had body cameras on them, otherwise they had to use tasers.
