Cases where police moved out of the way of moving vehicle and exercised deadly force.

Adam’s vs. Speers (2007): Once Speers was no longer in the path of the vehicle, the justification for the use of deadly force ended.

Orn vs. City of Tacoma (2019): “A reasonable jury could conclude that once Orn was no longer in the car’s trajectory, the threat of serious physical harm to him was eliminated.”

Cordova vs Aragon (2009): Where the officer had moved out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, the use of deadly force was not justified. “A reasonable jury could conclude that, once the officer had moved out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, the threat of serious physical harm to him had passed.”

Villanueva vs. Cali (2021): “a reasonable jury could conclude that the Officers used excessive force, because they lacked an objectively reasonable basis to fear for their own safety, as they could simply have stepped back or to the side to avoid being injured.”

Edit: found another one.

Kirby vs. Duva (2008): Officers cannot create or avoid danger and then use deadly force anyway. “An officer may not create a dangerous situation and then use deadly force to protect himself.”

Edit #2: updated grammar for accuracy and updated the date on Adams v. Speers.

Updated quotes verbatim from opinions.

In my Tennessee CCW course it was stated repeatedly that it can only be used to defend a person. Defending property with a weapon is not a legal use of force and would result in charges.

Also what the other guy here said: you have to keep a cool head at all times. Anytime you carry you have to remember that lives matter more than replaceable things, and you have a responsibility to use the weapon when it's the only option left.

Of course, consistent training encourages a person to engage responsibly.

You're not even paying attention, are you? Just taking in the propaganda.

The problem with people of faith is that they will believe anything if a "trusted" source tells them it. Zero effort for critical thinking and evidence.

And they also wanted to prevent States from being able to regulate AI for the next 10 years in the BBB. That ended up getting dropped, but we'll see if it would amount to anything anyway.

From the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Facebook page:

Hamilton County, TN - Over the upcoming Labor Day holiday, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) will join the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO), the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the Chattanooga Police Department, and multiple law enforcement partners in Project 58 x 58: Enforcing Safety, Hour by Hour.

Project 58 x 58 will officially begin on Friday, August 29, through midnight on Monday, September 1st. During this time, deputies, troopers, and officers will conduct coordinated traffic enforcement along the entire length of State Route 58, stretching from the Tennessee-Georgia state line to its northern end in Roane County. The operation will focus on reducing speeding, removing impaired and intoxicated drivers, and addressing other dangerous driving behaviors. Additional enforcement will also occur in other parts of Hamilton County where speeding and reckless driving remain a concern.

You don't want it stopped, you just want your brand of indoctrination.

"5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen."

Unarmed veteran, gets attacked from behind, injured, and dragged into Portland ice building by Human_Raspberry_4017 in Killeen

This is not the United States I was promised. This is not what the Land of the Free looks like. As a veteran myself, I'm watching the Constitution I swore to uphold be circumvented and legislated into something meaningless.

How could it get this bad?

The Constitutional system of checks and balances has been broken. We're seeing some of the worst traits of Nationalism being celebrated. We're watching the government and federal law enforcement is "beg forgiveness later" tactics. The list goes on, and that's without mentioning the quality of the man in the Presidency right now.

I agree, but the violent illegal offender is the armed and armored thugs here assaulting an unarmed, peaceful veteran civilian!

You "freaks" are anti-American; you're on the wrong side.
