Quote:You may not be anti deadly force, but you certainly are pro hindsight.


You have less than half a second to decide on your life as an angry man, suspected of a crime, charges at you and says he will kill you while pulling something from the back of his waistband. So you would wait until the gun is pointed at you before reacting with deadly force?


For your family's sake, please don't ever get into law enforcement. We don't need any more dead cops. I hope your widow would agree with the "It's better me than them" mentality.

I am pro hindsight, yes, especially when it comes to asking the question of whether the killing of another person was justifiable homicide or murder. There are some things in life that you can't get wrong, and killing another human being is one of them.

 

If someone charged at me stating an intent to kill me and reaching for the back of their waistband, I'd kill them and be justified in doing so because they are representing themselves as being armed.

 

I would never go into law enforcement. I'm not the type to plant pot and a crack pipe in someone's car so I can get that promotion to sergeant.
