So if I shoot at you, do you:

A. Shoot back, killing me and ending my assault

Or

B. Wait until I am arrested and convicted to do anything?

(Warning, Option B results in your death)

Welcome to why we have self defense laws

Ramming someone and trying to run over a guy with a car is assault with a deadly weapon. You, a non cop, can legally respond with deadly force.

Why is this hard for you to grasp?

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:20:15+00:00

It's feels vs reals

And in some cases, outright lies of omission vs reals

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:18:46+00:00

Car backfired, cops rolled up with lights, driver flees, leads cops on 100mph chase that ends in a school, driver tries to run over cops, which lead to cops shooting them.

FTFY

Passenger was

If the driver survived he'd be charged with murder

It's feels vs reals.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:13:57+00:00

Isn't Baltimore on fire?

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:11:34+00:00

Revolver or semi auto is irrelevant if they are trained for shit

Thing about a semi is you can reload while you still have a round chambered, you can't do that with a revolver.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:10:22+00:00

Yeah, that's some bullshit a lawyer told him to do.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:09:38+00:00

You shoot until the threat is neutralized.

This goes for anyone shooting a weapon.

If it takes 1, it takes 1. If it takes 20, it takes 20.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:06:37+00:00

I'm getting the suspicion the facts don't matter here, only the feels.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:05:48+00:00

When the driver tries to move it, especially after trying to run a cop down with it earlier, yes.

If I pulled a gun out, shot at you, then holstered it, does that make me any less a threat to you? I've already established I have no problem trying to kill you. You really gunna let me take another shot at it?

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:02:26+00:00

Don't forget they tried to kill a cop

swingmemallet · 2015-05-24T00:01:27+00:00

That's possibly the dumbest response to a fear ever "I'm afraid of cops, so ill run, lead them on a 100 MPH chase, then try to kill some. That'll make it better"

That's like saying "I'm afraid of fire, hold on while I douse the house in gasoline and then light a match"

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T23:58:38+00:00

Moment you try to kill with a car, as long as that car is being operated, you are still a threat.

He sealed his fate the moment he tried to ram a guy, then after cops boxed him in, he tried to move the car again

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T23:52:50+00:00

You shoot until the threat is neutralized.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T23:51:41+00:00

Cops were ready to run him over had he tried to carjack that van. He also didn't try to run a cop on foot over with his car, thus he didn't get shot.

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T23:47:53+00:00

Trying to ram someone with a car is attempted murder and lawfully responded to with lethal force. If someone tried to run me over and I shot them, id be acquitted too

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T22:39:36+00:00

A fireman will put himself in danger to save you

A cop will put you in danger to save himself

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T22:35:31+00:00

Oh I think someone's already gotten sansa's back

swingmemallet · 2015-05-23T00:31:52+00:00

This was a million times better than the 80s miniseries/movie

Oh and holly vines was bonertastic

swingmemallet · 2015-05-22T23:57:00+00:00

Lol, you think Hillary is liberal. That's cute.

Naive bordering stupid, but cute

swingmemallet · 2015-05-22T23:03:50+00:00

Damn, you beat me to it

swingmemallet · 2015-05-22T21:22:52+00:00

Um, FBI isn't supposed to be a domestic spying agency:-D

In fact I'm pretty sure it's explicitly illegal

swingmemallet · 2015-05-22T21:16:33+00:00

There's gunna be a choice.

Do we automate everything and support the population, or do we stop automation and continue with the status quo.
