Yeah Steve, those civil rights and due process really suck. Like I've
said before, the world did not come to a complete halt the moment the
final period was penned at the end of the second amendment.
Here is a scenario and question for you.

YOU are walking down the sidewalk.
A Police officer is walking down the sidewalk in front of you.
A criminal who just robbed a jewelery store comes out of said store,
When he exits the store he fires and kills another person on the
sidewalk in front of you and the officer.

YOU saw the criminal fire the shot.
The Officer saw the criminal fire the shot.

You see the Officer pull his weapon, shoot the criminal twice (killing
the criminal).

Now for the question.

YOU are called into court by the Internal Affairs section.
Will YOU tell them it was a justifiable action?


You won't be asked if it was a "justifiable action." They don't ask for
conclusions from witnesses.

What he WILL be asked is what he saw happen. He won't be asked his
opinions
about good or bad, justifiable or nonjustifiable.

And the way HE slants his responses to the questions will determine what
they decided. IE was it justifiable or not.


Are you basing this on experience, Steve, or on guesswork?
