I said the same thing, presented by Trump in the White House, and a Lefty lawyer type went off on me on how chasing the guy down was probably illegal.
I really hope that comes to pass.
He was a fleeing felon. Texas gives more latitude but there is a limit on lethal force.
If kelley had a believed to be hostage that would change things up as it would be kidnapping type thing
Oops. I hit “private reply” when I meant to post here:
The driver said that they called dispatch during the chase, so the police knew what was happening and were guiding the effort.
At the very least, they should be protected via a Citizen's Arrest:
A person can arrest someone that they reasonably suspect of committing a felony, even if the felony didnt occur in the presence of the individual making the arrest. As long as a felony was actually committed and the individual making the arrest knew of the crime, a reasonable suspicion about the identity of the perpetrator will justify their arrest....
Other states allow people making a citizens arrest to use deadly force to stop a fleeing arrestee as long as the person making the arrest used reasonable methods in order to make the arrest. Some states go further and require that the person using deadly force first attempt to restrain the subject of the arrest, and other states require pursuit and an explicitly stated intent to arrest before using deadly force.
