Civilians should have to follow rules similar to what police...
We are citizens with the right to self defense, not civilians. If someone comes at a cop wielding an axe, that individual will be shot.
“But I don’t think we need to strap on guns like in the wild West and shoot without calling police.
You don't have time to call the police and wait 30 minutes for them to arrive WHEN SOMEONE IS COMING AT YOU WITH AN AXE!
That’s not what our society is wanting to become.”
Bull crap. States are acknowledging our right to self defense more and more.
“We weren’t happy with (Floyd) being a vigilante and taking the law into his own hands without calling 911,” Doty said.
wrong Moron! Vigilantes intentionally seek out wrong doers to punish them.
“It’s very difficult to know how you can prevent something like this from happening...
It won't happen again, because the axe wielding criminal is pushing up daisies!
They want state law to mandate that people call 911 or alert police before shooting in self-defense, he said.
Unreal!
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office agrees with that idea and encourages people who witness a crime or fear for their safety to call 911.
Yeah right. Sheriff, do you have a Star Trek transporter in your pocket or something. How are you going to protect someone from AN AXE WIELDING CRMINAL WHO IS EIGHT FEET AWAY?
Police are allowed to use deadly force when someone poses a threat of serious physical harm or threatens the officer with a weapon or to prevent a felon from escaping, Cox said.
What do you else do you call it when someone is coming at you with an axe?
In training, officers are encouraged to shout, “Please stop,” before firing, Cox said. But he said police are not required to give the warning and sometimes do not have time.
LOL!!! Now I get it, you must say the magic word before an axe wielding criminal will stop. Officer Cox do you use the old "Simon Says" trick to end hostage situations or is it Pretty Please?
He said that Frizzell has not made any promises to the family and that legislators likely will not discuss the issue until next year.
Good for them, for if a Dem makes a promise then you are certain he is lying.
It just depends on how interested (lawmakers) are and what kind of public backing there is.”
Yeah, the public is really interested in removing any protection they have from axe wielding criminals!
