The issue of my claim is not just distance, but that the perp did not have a weapon, and was shot multiple times AFTER he was running away.
My point was and is, if you or I did the same - even if after the perp was in our house and punched us - we would be charged with manslaughter or murder.
If we shot him once from inside our house - no problem. If we chase after the perp and shoot him several more times while he is outside our door and not carrying a weapon - the law will come down hard on us.
I’m noting the discrepancy between what agents of the state can get away with and what us little people cannot. Different sets of standards it seems.
Kinda like the IRS.
So... all you are really saying is that YOU don’t like it, but that it is the reality of the situation.
The rules for citizens vs. the rules for armed and trained Law enforcement officers is ‘different’.
Gee, imagine that.
I believe the ‘rules’ for Military personnel are different than for a normal citizen, as well. They can shoot at the enemy no matter how far away they are.
Does that ‘difference’ bother you as well ?
Move to TX and your problem is solved.
