Except both execution and murder share that they are deliberate. The reason killing in self defense isn´t viewed upon as being as bad is because you have no choice and doesn´t do it delibirately. I would say that executing a person is the equivalent of murder.

What about other deliberate forms of killing? eg. a cop shooting a criminal (in an incident where it's justified of course ).

Well, it´s never justified unless it´s in self defence or in the act of protecting another person. I actually think most police officers in Sweden (where I´m from) don´t even carry a weapon =).
