Parole violators are arrested regularly in Alameda County, CA for violent crimes.
Additional information regarding the Lakewood murders:

The cornered suspect pulled his gun and was fatally shot. The officer was unhurt. He reported calmly on the police radio: "I have a black male that's down, with a mole on the left side of his face."

Seattle Police Department Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said the officer came across a car reported stolen when he detected movement behind him as he approached the car.
Pugel said the officer recognized Clemmons and ordered him stop and show his hands.
"He wouldn't stop," Pugel said. "The officer fired several rounds and took the person into custody."
Clemmons died from his injuries, Pugel said.

I don't believe in street executions. But furtive movement and failure to comply in these circumstances easily make this justifiable homicide by a peace officer.
However, that may not prevent wrongful death accusations and lawsuits.
