No inconsistency whatsoever - the discussion is about executions as a penalty in a judicial context.

Police, militaries and individuals should all have the right to employ potentially deadly force if required and justified within a legal context.

Yes, that makes sense. I like lmm's comment below that clarifies why these contexts are different.

If there is no way to save a life (or several) other than to use lethal force against the attacker, then I wouldn't consider it murder, but (self-)defense. Otherwise, I couldn't care less if it's legal or who does it, it's not justified.
