I would submit that an ex-SWAT police captain, who undoubtedly trained in military situations, and had to have the biggest package in the room in a roomful full of testosterone-laden gear queers during his career, should have a greater duty to exhibit restraint than your average retired police officer.

This is much like a professional boxer or martial arts expert having to restrain the weapons of their trade in commerce with ordinary people.

Reeves most obviously did not.

“law that allows residents to use deadly force when they fear death or great bodily harm.”

The stand your ground law does not just apply to situations where you fear death may happen- but also where ‘great bodily harm’ might occur - Again- we’ don’t know the whole story or testimonies- Like i said the fella had already had a cell phone thrown at his head- likely with a lot of force- and the other fella was clearly enraged-

[[This is much like a professional boxer or martial arts expert having to restrain the weapons of their trade in commerce with ordinary people.]]

xcept in stand your ground cases- I would imagine- I would think that if a boxer was forced to hit a person and it resulted in death- they ocudl argue on the grounds of stand your ground-

"greater duty to exhibit restraint"... I would expect that this is going to be the main argument by the prosecution. I do wonder now that the SYG motion has been dismissed if they will argue diminished capacity or take a plea deal. I recall their was some chatter about possible early stage dementia. I wonder how the tests came out.

That’s the same conclusion I came to when this first came to light years ago.

The dude was obviously a short fuse just waiting to get lit and a phone in the hands of a text addict was probably all he needed while at the theater.

Hope he rots in jail till he dies.
