Personally I can see where it might justify it. Especially at night and where you think the other guy is a criminal. Once you are knocked out or disabled you have no control over what else will happen to you. But at some point you need to be accountable for being wrong when you make such assumptions. And the same is true for putting yourself in that situation by acting as if you were a law enforcement officer.
