I posted an attny's video about that.![]()
1-16.000 - Department of Justice Policy On Use Of Force
www.justice.gov
Seems significant.......
Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.
They are leaving out the fact that the situation must be judged by the totality of circumstances without hindsight. His actions must be judged by the second or so he had to react. If this were Austin Powers, and a slow steam roller was inching toward him from 20 yards away, the "other options" argument would hold up. If he's 2 feet from the vehicle and she guns it... That is what's judged, without attributing to him our benefit of hindsight.When agitators show up and first berate you and then hit you with their car. Yeah, I think he reasonably may have feared for his life.
This is the same group that immediately defended her gunning the vehicle into a federal agent because a DIFFERENT federal agent had just cursed at her in an unfriendly voice while telling her to get out of the car.Their aggression towards him, effects his mindset and how he would perceive their actions.
Pretending it doesn’t matter is a complete joke. If they had waived and handed out cookies, it would obviously effect how their actions were perceived
Getting hit by a car is widely considered to be imminent danger of death/serious physical injury...it's an open and shut caseDidn't pass this test either....
- Deadly force should not be used against persons whose actions are a threat solely to themselves or property unless an individual poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others in close proximity.
He walked around the car twice and stopped and she looked at him in the eyes and gunned the engine, hitting himplease
He literally positioned himself in front of her car and could have literally easily moved out of the way.
Literally!!!
You guys act as if he was 100 years old, blind, and crippled.
Jesus Christ man
"counterbalance" you think everyone who isn't left of Stalin is an "extreme rightwinger" and at least you finally admit you aren't "rational and reasonable" at all, just emotionally tied to your feelz as a typical party line cultistI hope the child has a complete recovery.
We do see it differently, and we can both be reasonable in those views....you are right in that regard.
My default in the PF has always been to counterbalance the extreme rightwing nonsense with the opposite. I still believe that that serves a purpose, but I need to do a better job of checking myself.
She absolutely chose violence.She didn't choose violence.
