At least this one wasn’t unarmed. Of course, the ex-cop should have just shot the gun out of his hand./s
He had no arms?
My arms have, and can be used as weapons as needed. Not very often throughout my short life. I could kill with them if it meant my life, or a violent criminal’s.
I would be very happy to never have to use my arms as a deadly weapon, it would be a shame to have to kill. However in self defense. If it comes down to a violent criminal or me. It will be me every single time no matter what I face.
I propose “unarmed” be changed to “did not have a gun” in this case, modify as needed.
Or he could have dodged the bullets and ran away before calling every news outlet in the country, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Present Obama, and every black thug type in the town before asking for permission to use lethal force.
Eight shots could be considered pretty excessive. What do the forensics show? Usually it only takes one, maybe two depending on caliber. But in the heat of the moment you have two choices. Live or die. Cop chose live. End of story.
