"Both parties had numerous chances to disengage."

Reeves had no need to disengage since it was Chad who conducted on his own the violent confrontation. When Chad escalated the violence to a level that appeared to threaten the lives and safety of himself and his wife next to him, Reeves legitimately used deadly force to stop the violent threat.

Sadly, society, law enforcement, and the leftist-saturated judiciary are so politically correct and testicularly challenged today that Reeves will likely get kangaroo court justice.

What violent threat? Popcorn?

I predict the turgidity level, about shooting another human, in this thread is going to be strong.

Had you followed the case from the beginning, you'd know that it was Reeves who initiated the confrontation.

If Reeves use of deadly force had been legitimate, he would not be sitting in jail right now awaiting trial.

Sadly, society, law enforcement, and the leftist-saturated judiciary are so politically correct and testicularly challenged today that Reeves will likely get kangaroo court justice.

Reeves tried to claim he was protecting himself under Florida's Stand Your Ground laws. The judge denied the motion because Reeves' own contemporaneous statements, along with those of his wife and witnesses (one of whom was a fellow LEO) clearly showed that he was not a guilt-less as you would like to believe.

For his part in escalating the confrontation, Reeves deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars, and in all likelihood, probably will.
