So if someone shoots at me turns and runs I can’t be in fear of my life that he may stop turn and shoot at me again ?..

What is this the new I’m invisible rule?...i can shoot at you all day long... but don’t need to take cover for return fire.... I just turned around after shooting at you?.. and I’m safe.... I become invisible... crap that’s better than body armor you can not touch me....

guess that’s why gangbangers do “drive bys” cuz once they shoot, then start to “drive by” there safe and no one return fire

how about I just stand with my back to you and shoot blindly behind while running... me how does that count?

But an unarmed person can break in my house I can shoot..what if I break in walking backwards

do I have to have a gun or no, I don’t need a gun but it doesn’t matter if I have a gun I’m trying to understand your rules here....what about knives?...do knives count and then we can get on Tasers

It not “back to you im now safe” once you use a weppon on me and showing you have hostile intent towards me “it stop..and hands up and empty to see you no longer have a weppon”

because if I’m pursuing you I need to see and know you’re not going to turn again and use that weapon I got to see you don’t have it and you’re no longer a threat if you stop and turn or i catch you..

you already shown you had a weapon you’ve already shown your intent now you need to show me you no longer have a weapon and you no longer have intent

and I’m not even talking specials for cops I’m talking civilian on civilian ...

In this case, the perp was unarmed. That means he had no means to turn and shoot. In fact, he had no means to turn, shoot or feel foolhardy enough to charge the officer with any hope of inflicting harm on the officer.

What is so hard for you people to comprehend? The man had his back turned and was fleeing, yet so many of you have no problem with a stumbling, ambling, fleeing person being shot in the back.

Did the officer really believe he was going to jump over the fence and attack someone or did the officer see a chance to blow away an alleged criminal? remember, at one time a person was innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It seems too many here wish to do away with trials by jury and see no issues with unarmed people gunned down to save the hassle of trials, juries, lawyers, judges, Constitutional rights and presumption of innocence.

How many more times will you people claim: "No one who runs away from a cop is innocent of anything."

Think carefully about what sort of nation you want to live in and raise children in. Giving up any rights to due process or illegal searches or Constitutional carry bodes ill for everyone.
