“Goobermunt, making criminals out of citizens with each new legislative session. If a local or state money needs revenue there are better ways to get it than simply making more things either licensed or fine imposing offenses.”

Ah, yes, the “Land of the Free”. Anyone who imagines he has any real freedom left should be about booking a seat in a pumpkin patch for Halloween night so he can watch for the great Pumpkin to bring him some goodies. I have had occasion recently to ask a number of people how they felt about the EPA planning to lower the permissible discharge of the “pollutant” and “greenhouse gas” CO2 into the atmosphere by another thirty percent. Astoundingly only a tiny percentage question whether carbon dioxide which is a normal component of the atmosphere should be labled a pollutant. I always thought a pollutant was something which is not supposed to be present in ANY amount, not something which if completely eliminated, would mean the end of life on Earth. The population has been dumbed down to an amazing level of non-thinking compliance. Less than a year ago one goofy liberal who thinks he is the smartest guy around actually told me that CO2 levels are approaching the point where people are going to start dying from it!

Oh, yes, of course, the fact that the innocent motorist DID NOT is of no consequence whatever.

On the other hand, if Groubert’s training or experience reinforced in his mind that motions of the type and speed made by Edward are to be interpreted as a suspect reaching for a weapon, that would obviously contribute the the reasonableness of Groubert’s conduct.

In my mind, this is why these events are so common; a giant loophole. If you use the same standard for everyone, this goes away. Many "civilians" have served in the miitary, and have more range time, defensive training than cops, especially the rural "milita" types. Their training would lead them to the same conclusions, but that defense doesn't hold water for them in court, and since you can't really know this, the reasonable person standard seems more fair. Would a reasonable person believe this guy was going for a gun? If the answer is no, then it is no for everyone. If yes, it is yes for everyone. If a non-police did this it would be a certain conviction.

Well, they id a shi**y job training this guy. 4 shots at close range with only one hit in the groin. My wife, who rarely shoots, would have done a lot better. At 15 yards with my Sig Sauer 40 I can put 6 in the size of a silver dollar. Of course the silver dollar is not shooting back.

Yea It’s sad. In grade school science we were taught CO2 was good and necessary for life. If they are trembling in fear from CO@ levels rising there is a natural solution they can do cheap and help everyone. They The Green Earth Worshiping Zombies who cult leaders are shysters should simply go around planting trees. As an extra added bonus plant fruit trees which would feed people and convert CO2 which trees absorb & create oxygen for us plus food.
