Deadly Force Guidelines Revised

Recommended Posts

You are always looking for reasons to forgive people for the CRIMES they do.



Just to correct a little bit:

"People" are not in question, it's a child. At this age, they just start to enter puberty with all its problems, if it even starts... A kid with 13 is incapable to judge when under stress.... (Like most adults!)

"Always" is simply wrong, I never excused any "crime".

Since months, I did not reply to any of your posts. The best way to go in future, too.

Children are not people?

it's a child



A child that was acting like an adult and trying to use a car as a weapon.

You are blaming the cops, not the criminal.

LOL.

Anyway, i think to avoid going around in the usual SC circles, maybe we should hold off until the investigation outs whether he was indeed trying to run someone over, or rather was just reversing to get out of there. Yes, he was a criminal, no denying that, but the investigation i guess will attempt to determine if he deserved to die that da (which is i think more the point in question, not that he did something wrong)

You do know the physical evidence will probably never be able to show whether he was trying to back out to escape or to run the cops over, right?

The car would do the same thing either way, and leave the same evidence. I hope it comes out conclusively one way or the other, but I doubt it will.

THe main thurst of the investigation will be to determine whether or not hte officers were justified in discharging their firarms. That can be shown one way or the other. Knowing exactly what the driver had in mind is a much less exact science.

Yeah thats true, but in the painful and exacting recreation of events that took place, together with positioning etc, i think the FBI will probably be able to put a pretty accurate reconstruction together. The kids autopsy will be able to see if this matches along with forensic evidence of bullet paths collected at the scene, as well as the tyre marks/accident damage that must have been extensively catalogued. It won't show the childs state of mind, but it will show where the officers were when he was shot.

If it proves an officer was firing through the back window as the car was heading straight towards him, well thats pretty conclusive i would say. Likewise, if he was shot 10 times at close range from the drivers side window, perpendicular to the path of the car, that will prove equally conclusive. Damage done to the cars will also give an idea of speed of movement.

I can think of several flaws tot hat assesment, the first of which would be if an officer was shooting from more of a side on angle, perhapse he was defending the life of another office or bystander in the dealdy path of the car.
