You and I agree that shooting an unarmed man in the back is a bad
idea. Gunner, on the other hand, appears to think it's OK, as long as
there's a good backstop to keep bystanders safe. Sheesh.
I see your reading comprehension sucks as badly as St..pids does.
Pity

OK, then suppose you take a couple of minutes and explain things to
me. My understanding is that you don't have a problem with shooting at
the guy who, after dropping his gun, tried to run away from the scene
of the crime. Further, you don't think this puts bystanders in danger,
as long as there's a suitable backstop.
That is, at least, what I thought you wrote. Please correct me if I'm
wrong.
First of all...several of the reports claim the perp was STILL holding
the firearm when he was shot at.
Secondly...you havent proven to us that there were 1. Bystanders, 2. An
unsafe backstop. *
In fact...as I mentioned in my original post..you have given us few if
any details of any kind. *Just your opinion.
And thirdly...you have as yet failed to clarify when and when its not
proper to shoot a fleeing felon. *I made mention that its largely a
state issue and depends on various circumstances. *You as yet have
refused to refute that in any meaningful way, attacking me, rather than
that I stated clearly.
So I ask again, are you normally this stupid or do you have to work at
it?

Firstly, the ONLY report I have read of this incident was the one
posted in this group, in which it clearly said that the peroetrator
dropped his gun and ran.
Secondly, I don't need to prove that there were bystanders or an
unsafe backstop in order to ask you whether it's OK with you to shoot
an unarmed man in the back as long as it doesn't present a danger to
bystanders, which appears to be your position.
Thirdly, for the third time, here is a link to a photo of the
neighborhood. I really don't know what else you expect me to provide
by way of evidence.

Fourthly, what are the laws concerning shooting fleeing felons in the
back in the State of Florida? Please provide cites.
Am I normally not this stupid. I usually wouldn't spend this amount of
time arguing with the likes of you.
