I'm still not seeing why killing the police is fine however vs. the other innocents that she spared. Its not following a pattern. She was tracking what her code deemed as a killer either way. Why are the police subject to her wrath but not the other villagers? Because the police are more likely to actually put up a fight to detain her? Her code allowing her to be detained for any period of time what so ever sets it up that shes almost required to fight her way out killing dozens or more. Fighting to avoid detainment from the start would cause far less death and destruction. Killing innocents is an unjust act either way. Who are they exacting Justice for at that point then? Do more Justicars come to avenge those murdered innocents now? Do Justicars hunt Justicars?? Doing unjust acts to bring another subject to justice is not something for the greater good. The Justicar Code is a flawed and hypocritical dogma. Its like like playing Calvin Ball and the rules work when they suit what you need.
Indeed it is an unjust act. Which as I said, the Justicar hold regret for, but they must not let anything impede their progress. The difference between the police and civilians is that while police are innocent to an extent their job is also to protect the innocent from harm, so in a that aspect they are above the average Asari walking the streets of Nos Astra/Thessia etc., they are enforcers of the law. Similar to the Justicars they have noble goals and yet can prove to be obstacles through means such as violence and incarceration (most cops would no better than to get in the way of a Justicar however, they have no doubt become familiar with how they operate) .
The reason she did not kill the "true" innocent in the Nihlus situation is precisely as you said, the police (Primarily detective Anaya) is capable of impeding her progress through means of force... The definition of an innocent to the Justicar is someone who is helpless and not capable of harm and most importantly
someone who is not involved in a crime syndicate, e.g. Eclipse. The difficulty for many (especially, I would guess, with the non-justicar Asari) is finding the difference between what
we consider innocents and what the Justicars consider innocence. For them there are very few measures that they will not go to in order so that they may exact justice, the exception to this is the harming of
true innocents (i.e. the harmless) and obviously, the harming of their own sisters, which would just be plain stupid. Like attacking someone on your own army... As I said though, luckily most of the time police, civilians and Justicar are all smart enough to stay out of each others business. They know of the dangers that can arise as a result of doing such things.
This is as far as I shall take this. I feel I have expressed things clearly enough... and if not then I suppose we just have to agree to disagree.
