[quote name='kill3r7']A threat of imminent danger occurs when the attacker's intent is to cause bodily harm or death, and he has the means to do so. you are allowed to act in self defense.[/QUOTE]
Yep, even for police the standard is that they have to be able to show that they had probable cause that the person was armed and willing to kill or seriously injury them or others before they can use lethal force.
Some state's Castle laws give citizens more leeway when someone is on their home or property (with Texas's being the most extreme as that state is bat shit crazy on pretty much every dimension). But I don't think any state's laws allow shooting someone on a neighbor's property where there wasn't any clear indication that the person was armed or dangerous.
Nor should they. People (and the legal system) should have a pretty high burden for when they can use lethal force.
