No. And that's why he never should have drawn on the thief.
Not every crime deserves the death penalty.
He should have tackled, detained, photographed, etc. the guy. Lethal force wasn't warranted, based on the information given.
That’s what I was thinking.
And if I read the article correctly, lethal force wasn't used. The threat of lethal force was used to detain this chump long enough for the police to arrive. Had he shot this miscreant, it would not have been privileged.
