“one of the officers struggling with Bell felt his gun being pulled and screamed “he has my gun!” at which point another officer shot Bell.”
They discovered that the officer who thought his gun was being grabbed in fact had caught it on a broken car mirror. The emergency medical technicians who arrived later found the officers fighting with each other over what happened.
My rules of engagement as a private citizen would be that I would probably have to see him with the gun before shooting to defend myself. I know the cops are only human too but it seems they have different rules.
“My rules of engagement...”
That’s hilarious.
If George Zimmerman - a private citizen - had followed your rules of engagement, he would have left the scene in a bodybag thanks to poor, unarmed Trayvon Martin.
