good info, but dont forget, at least as a last resort, to complain of “shortness of breath/chest pain” to buy some *alone* time at the hospital to await counsel...
Well, once you “lawyer up” by stating you’ll be waiting for an attorney the police are supposed to let you be until that time as anything they demand from you after that can be dismissed from evidence. I only answer questions that help them direct their on-scene investigation or control, such as pointing out witnesses or where the involved weapons may be found, my name and where my ID is, etc. Helpful but only factual and direct. Descriptions of the scene, events, players, etc are strictly off limits.
I don't think lying to the cops is the best idea I've seen on the thread. Once you've said enough to clear the emergency (IE, could there be another assailant?), they have to respect your wishes to clam up until you get counsel.
