Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem;
Creatorem caeli et terrae.

Et in Jesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum;
qui conceptus est
de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria virgine;
passus sub Pontio Pilato,
crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus;
descendit ad inferos;
tertia die resurrexit a mortuis;
ascendit ad caelos;
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis;
inde venturus est
iudicare vivos et mortuos.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum;
sanctam ecclesiam catholicam;
sanctorum communionem;
remissionem peccatorum;
carnis resurrectionem;
vitam aeternam. Amen.

In English:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary,
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come again
to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

She has also said to let everyone know that “DrO has always been a completely devout Roman Catholic, so I have no doubt and I take comfort that he is at peace with our good and merciful God and his Savior Jesus Christ. God’s will be done.”

“Isn’t it interesting that Rome was a republic for 75 years before it started down the road of empire...”

When do you date the start of your 75 years?

“There are other ways of stopping people besides shooting them.”

OK, tell us how else anyone could have stopped the meth-head?

“...and people aiding the police.”

He did. He stopped a violent, repeat offender meth head who was depriving him of his livelihood - and who threatened his life.

A jury agreed with that point of view.

” I’m writing clear, cogent sentences. “

An opinion, a self serving one.

Arrest is to stop. He was stopped. That is clear. And cogent.

You said, “As far as I know, no state allows you to shoot someone who has stolen your property but is fleeing with it, unless that person does something to indicate he’s a threat to you” and I posted proof the State of Washington has that exact issue in statute.

Now you babble about “self defense”. Why?

300K for a case like this? Cheap.

Here’s Washington State Law; note that it pertains to citizens, not law enforcement, who are covered in another point of the same chapter:

RCW 9A.16.020
Use of force — When lawful.
The use, attempt, or offer to use force upon or toward the person of another is not unlawful in the following case(s):
(2) Whenever necessarily used by a person arresting one who has committed a felony and delivering him or her to a public officer competent to receive him or her into custody;

So in theory, any citizen can use whatever force is necessary to arrest (i.e. stop) a felon. However, the Tennessee v. Garner case must be taken into account for citizens as well as for LE; and the gist of that is that you need to assess and balance the risk of using force against this person vs. the risk of allowing them to escape. Are they going to harm someone? Have they already done so? How dangerous are they? That’s all Garner requires us to articulate.

There are certainly cases in which I would shoot a fleeing felon in the back, LE or not; and that decision would arise out of a conviction that they represent a totally unacceptable danger if allowed to escape. Both the Law and Garner envision and allow for this kind of possibility.

The Feds already have, ask Laurence Powell and Stacey Koon.

Kaluza-Graham’s history was riddled with trouble, including convictions for auto theft, joyriding and reckless driving.

He should not have been. And if the jury agrees, the County will pay $300,000 in costs and attorney fees for the (falsely) accused.

As I said, Spokane is an odd little town. The cops (unionized) decided to stop worrying about property crimes.

Spokane police to investigate fewer thefts, burglaries

Spokane is an odd little town. But stealing a man’s work truck is pretty much accepted as a form of suicide.

Read the comments. The left wing-nuts have their panties tied into knots.

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

She became the Mother of God, in which work so many and such great good things are bestowed on her as pass man’s understanding. For on this there follows all honor, all blessedness, and her unique place in the whole of mankind, among which she has no equal, namely, that she had a child by the Father in heaven, and such a Child . . . Hence men have crowded all her glory into a single word, calling her the Mother of God . . . None can say of her nor announce to her greater things, even though he had as many tongues as the earth possesses flowers and blades of grass: the sky, stars; and the sea, grains of sand. It needs to be pondered in the heart what it means to be the Mother of God.

(Commentary on the Magnificat, 1521; in Luther’s Works, Pelikan et al, vol. 21, 326)
