It’s a new day for the news. Go to the link and do a search for “Husband” and you will get 3-4 articles.
No time for searching. If ya got something different, post it.
BTW, see #29 for link.
I read all this earlier.
The cop is a lying SoS.
wow, and you are for freedom? you are sounding like a real jerk.
Clearly he was an armed criminal fleeing.
What crime, was it a felony, and was he an immediate threat to cause serious harm to others?
Now, what needs to be determined is if he was in fact involved in a crime.
You would think that if he had committed a felony and was also an immediate threat to serious harm to anther person, the police would have made a statement to that effect by now that four days have passed.
The law is clear about the use of deadly force by cops. The cop screwed up and the police department has opened itself up to even greater liability by not cutting him loose.
The point I was addressing was that it is not wrong per se for a police officer to shoot a fleeing criminal, if, ofcourse, he is sure he has committed a crime.
There is more to it than that. A cop cannot shoot at a fleeing criminal unless that person is a threat to cause immediate serious harm to a person.
There is more to it than that. A cop cannot shoot at a fleeing criminal unless that person is a threat to cause immediate serious harm to a person.
Well I disagree with that, if the police officer knows a serious crime has been committed,(like murder or rape) he should be able to stop the criminal.
A person who has shot at or committed a violent crime such as rape is a serious theat to others. Shooting them would be legal.
