I think he explains what he means perfectly with his reference to the supreme court decision that tells cops when they can use deadly force to stop a fleeing felon.
What is truly amazing is watching how many here at Free Republic that are so easily manipulated by the constant anti-police agenda of the media. Where they are suspicious of the media tearing down this country in other reporting, one sided, bias reporting on police is accepted at face value.
He was a suspect. Not a convicted criminal. I won’t sleep over his shooting but I will lose sleep over so many people demanding a police state shooting people on sight.
Did the cop see the shooting video? Did he witness the crime? If not there is no way he can 100% identify the guy and decide to shoot him. Lots of people look similar. If you go down the road you’ve advocated cops will just start shooting anyone they think is the guy.
Look at what happened in CA when they were looking for the black ex-cop. Shot up a pick up with two women in it because it was the same color. I guess you’d call that a good shoot, too?
