Law authorities are not able to work. Do you agree. (Couldn't understand)

Then he explained - in situations like in Delhi, the law requires you to kill the leader of the mob, but the media says that you should shoot in the air etc. What will you do? (I was hesitant to say that I will shoot, tried to suggest alternatives - preventive detention).

But the situation requires you to shoot. What will you do? ( I said that if situation requires the authority can take any action permissionable under the law)

But the media is not allowing the authorities to work. There is media trial. Who should decide whether the action is right? ( I said courts)
