Let’s shoot him down in the street, because MAYBE he MIGHT commit a crime? That’s my entire premise, you’ve made up some scenario to justify shooting him in the back, with no reason, that is crazy.

“Let’s shoot him down in the street, because MAYBE he MIGHT commit a crime?”

hey, the Supreme Court Standard for lawful use of deadly force on a fleeing suspect is:

“police may not shoot at a fleeing person unless the officer reasonably believes that the individual poses a significant physical danger to the officer or others”

it’s fancier language but it’s the same idea as “shoot him because he might commit a crime”
