According to police standards, that officer murdered him. Legally he's in the clear. But police have been fighting for decades to justify arrest of anyone who defends themselves. The legal standard mandated by police and prosecutors is the second someone attempts to disengage, you become a murderer.
If he is only charged with manslaughter, he is receiving special treatment.
The individual attempted to stab the officer before heading for the store.
Legally police only have extra arrest powers. This is an illegal privilege extended to police.
I'm not sure you understood my point.
Fact is, many people shot in self defense pose a risk to the general public. Thus the crux of my complaint.
People are in prison because they legally defended themselves against career criminals.
The bum was defending himself against customers at that business? Lol.
Don't understand your comment.
