- How's this for an alternative to the for the uncooperative felon...
-
- Give the standard freeze, on the floor, etc. If they refuse, then tell them
- get the hell out or get shot. I think this would be alot more defensable
- in court than shooting just for not hitting the floor, and alot safer than
- trying a mexican standoff until the police arrive. I'd rather let the cretin
- walk than have to worry about his possible partner or worry that he will decide
- I don't have the guts to actually shoot.
-
- You gave the felon the option to walk away safely, and he made
- the decision to stay and furthor threaten your safety... That SHOULD
- be a rightous shoot for a civilian.
-
- (standard disclaimer... I'm not a lawyer or police officer, nor have I ever
- confronted a crook)
