"There's a line you can not cross when you're running through the parking lot chasing after a suspect brandishing a gun," Sgt. Christopher Cross said

CT law....if you grab your gun & give chase (no matter what the perp did) YOU then become the threat in the eyes of the law and are subject to arrest.

Nothing like coddling the bad guys.

About what I would expect from CT. Criminals in liberal states have more rights than their victims.

Then the pols in those states have the gall to say that guns in the hands of law abiding people are the reason the crime rate is so high. Maybe the real reason is that criminals in those states don't have anything to fear from their unarmed victims, and the few who are allowed to have guns as a privilege are afraid to use them in defense of themselves or their property because they will be prosecuted if they do.

It does read as if what the cop is saying is that once the thief makes it out the door with the goods....they are home free. This C__P REALLY has to end.

Let me tell you guys something. you shouldnt be carrying a hand gun for protection if you dont understand your states laws and your rights. The law says you may not chase after someone who has committed a crime,(like stealing) yes it might be your property but todays society says life is more important than inanimate objects that can be replaced. That store owner/manager became the aggressor and the bigger threat. The local police and staties dont want people running around shooting at each other because YES accidents can happen were innocents could and have been injured and killed. They want the police who are trained and incontrol to handle the the threat. If the police dont ever find the bad guy and nobody gets hurt thats a plus. Sucks but thats the big picture. I think ive covered everything i wanted to.
