The problem with your scenario is that he has ceased hostility and walked away.

A police officer would have the responsibility to apprehend the suspect.

As a civilian with concealed carry, if the direct threat has stopped, it is my responsibility to defuse the situation. If I were in the car, that would be driving away.

I’m not saying the cop is wrong but I would go to jail given your scenario.

There is no problem with my scenario. There is no right or wrong answer. I’m just asking what YOU would do. In your case, you would drive away. You have answered the question.

Where do you live, that you’re required to flee from a place you are legally allowed to be, while a violent criminal is allowed to stay?
