Always shoot to kill. There is no other valid reason to shoot
someone, and it's always better to have your undisputed version on the
record. Your potential for future liability is lower also. Warning
shots are considered a crime just about everywhere, shooting and
missing, not so much.

Aggressive movements in what direction, dopey? Towards the homeowner on
the other side of the door. Home invasion.

I wonder what "the weapon" was. I notice they avoided saying "gun".


A bag of Skittles, right?

You'd shoot him? From what you have posted here, your shooting game is
worse than your golf game. Better get real close.

Gosh, foad, what have I said that makes you think I couldn't hit a person standing across the room?
As long as I can hit a cantaloupe at a dozen yards, I'll be OK.

I doubt you can hit a watermelon at 36 feet.

Is this another cop shooting someone reaching for his wallet?


One of the reports mentioned a baseball bat.

Go watch Wayne's movie.

I saw it and it is clear this cop knows how to testify. I did wonder
how his Walther suddenly became a Glock. Was he carrying 2 guns?

He did seem to be trying to justify shooting at a fleeing vehicle.



Yes, he had 2 guns. If you read his account, he emptied the Glock and
then retrieved his Walther from a closet or someplace nearby.

I'm sure not the one doing the bragging about out shooting all the cops at the shooting range! I
doubt if I'll ever be half as good a shot as you say you are.

Only in the hands of an aggressor, whereupon deadly force may be used against the threat. You know,
like that stand your ground situation there in Huntingtown.
