| I've already mentioned what I personally would have no problems as seeing justified. That is like the previous example a couple years ago with some dude and his wallet. Sure it's "only a wallet" but in THAT circumstance he made the officer do what he had to do.
A scenario; the guy slowly reaches back for his wallet, tells the officer "I'm reaching for my wallet" and again slowly pulls hand forward to display it.
B scenario; the guy is running from the cops, gets cornered, and decides to make a very abrupt motion to pull out his wallet.
There have been cases even where they now have the term "Suicide by Cop" because people decide that since they just broke up with their significant other, they will go on a chase, get out of the car, and do those very same acts of abrupt, threatening motions.
But I'm curious. When would you use lethal force against a cop? I'm assuming on duty officer, not a drunken bar brawl where he just so happens to be an officer. |
