I would agree that the marshall probably lacked the training in how to respond to such an encounter.
As I had mentioned in my previous post, it is common for officers to respond in such a manner.
A common citizen, one who is using common sense, wouldn't confront such an individual. They'd report this person to law enforcement. Nor would they be carrying a firearm in their vehicle. As you have stated, "What if's do not apply."
Let me ask this. What justified the marshall even firing the first shot to the leg with no weapon of any kind on Stowers part? That is the crux of the matter in my book.
Stowers called 911 on his cell phone from inside the vehicle after being shot.
Nor would they be carrying a firearm in their vehicle
No idea what you are relating to. The marshall?
