Maybe Muffy and Biff bought their ammo online.I think being completely off topic for 20 pages is more likey
I think grammar and typo call outs are grounds for a BigFin thread lock.
Yes. An officer who did that could 1) be fired 2) face civil liability for excessive use of force and 3) face potential criminal charges.
Funny. You'll figure it out. Or you won't. mtmuleyI think being completely off topic for 20 pages is more likey
They shouldn’t be. Case law exists that it’s deemed a use of force.I’m not sure about that. Law enforcement pretty routinely points their weapons at people without firing from what I understand.
You need to learn a bit more about use of force protocol.Law enforcement is routinely put in situations where they point a weapon at someone and do not fire.

That's the reason there are policies and laws. Not everyone's "common sense" is the same. BTW, the scenario you described is anything but textbook. You're lucky he didn't sue you for assault.I don’t care about use of force protocol. I rely on common sense.
And please don’t tell me what I need to do.

In some states citizen's arrest is ok provided we are talking a felony. But better be sure as a person takes a lot of risks, legal and otherwise, playing cowboy.I’m not sure about that. Law enforcement pretty routinely points their weapons at people without firing from what I understand.
I once held my sister’s domestic violence committing ex at gunpoint when he broke into her house to harass her with my young niece there. She called the cops and then me because I was closer. He left when he figured out the law was on the way and I saw him at the convenience store when I was on the way to my sister’s house. I stopped, blocked him in, and ordered him to the ground at gunpoint and held him there until the law arrived. As the deputies pulled in I dropped the clip and set the weapon on the ground and backed away a few steps. The deputies commended me on my textbook handling of the situation.
I have some training so I suppose that may make a difference. I went to school with most of the law enforcement officials around here or their kids as well, so that may make a difference.
And no I don’t think I am some billy badass either before the sure to follow snide comments. I did what I did in that situation and I stand by it.
I had no desire to shoot the scum. I’d hate to live with that on my conscious because of some piece of trash. But enough was enough with that dude.
But then you have to ask if it was justified under the circumstances and then get over qualified immunity for LEOs. I am sure department policies are all over the place both formally and in practical application. I am no expert on this but my guess is a fair amount of state by state variation too.They shouldn’t be. Case law exists that it’s deemed a use of force.

In your opinion, what was your specific knowledge that justified deadly force?I assure you I was not playing anything at that point.
