Here in Michigan the burden of proof is far lower for an average citizen than it is for police. Unarmed utes are killed by people defending themselves all the time with no charges filed.

Its one of the often repeated messages of Police Chief James Craig in Detroit when speaking out to criminals. "The average citizen is far more likely to shoot you than police so don't mess with them".

Excellent. Wish police in my town had that attitude….well, maybe they do, as they do not respond when shots are fired in front of your house.
