There isn’t any law that says one way or another, but a hot shot prosecutor is going to present it to the jury that the home owner became the aggressor when he chased the BBQ thief. I know here of two instances where it didn’t go well for someone who chased after criminals: 1. Kids toilet papered a guys house. He got in his car and began following them to see where they lived. The sped up to get away he sped up to follow. They crashed killing one. He was convicted of manslaughter. 2. Several contract workers working for GA power were at a motel. Two to a room to save money. Black guy broke in at gunpoint. And robbed them. One of the guys had a .45 under his pillow ran to the door and as the robber was climbing the fence shot at him. Robber kept going. Police came made and left. Next day more police came and found the guy dead in the woods a couple of hundred feet from the fence. Had a BB gun and had been released from prison the day prior to the robbers. The worker who shot him was charged with murder. It went to trial, it resulted in a hung jury. The guy’s lawyer was a friend of mine and found out only two of the jurors wouldn’t convict the guy. And the rest of the jury wanted to go by majority vote, but they wouldn’t do it. The prosecution decided not to retry, but the victim could have easily gone to jail for a long time.

So unless you’ve got some evidence that going after a fleeing robber is totally kosher don’t be so quick to make assumptions. Just because cops can do it doesn’t mean that you can. Remember there are two sets of laws one for us and another set for law enforcement where it is almost impossible to convict them even for blatant crimes that would put one of us under the jail.

It is a Black Right. It is a remedy for inequality.

Black criminals have earned the right to resist arrest and to flee. This right can not be taken from then by shooting as they flee, using batons or billy clubs to subdue while resisting or endangering the officers making the arrest.

Since shop lifting is not a crime, being subdued while resisting is the real crime.

That's all I wanted you to say.

And yeah, it's not advisable to chase after robbers. It's advisable to take theft up the shorts, or let insurance pay out a pittance (where we all pay), and let hamstrung cops try to make an arrest so a bleeding heart judiciary can fawn all over the criminals. It's advisable that we give up all of our rights to the benevolent state.
