[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]When a suspect runs an officer will pull out their gun, not their mace and not their nightsticks. Why because as I have already said when it comes down to it the officer is the one who needs to win. This may sound cruel or awful but that is the way it is done. [/i] That IS cruel and awful. So it doesn't matter if a suspect doesn't fight back -- if he runs, the cop gets to execute him? Beg your fuckin' pardon? This is the US, not the Soviet Union or China where such things would be viewed as common place. The incident you describe is MURDER, and I'm really saddened that you think it is excuseable. I think you're missing the point. The only time it's legal to use deadly force is if an officer is under attack. Now, if the suspect isn't armed and is attacking, then a nightstick or mace might be a better choice of weapon. BUT A RUNNING, UNARMED SUSPECT? Not that you apparently give a fuck. Run from a cop, get a piece of lead in yo' ass. I don't fucking think so. There's no excuse for any officer to shoot an unarmed, fleeing person, and I think it's sad and ignorant that some people on this Board think that it's okay. As for the other examples, they're different circumstances. Someone, explain to me why it's a-okay to shoot an unarmed fleeing suspect, please? [/QB][/QUOTE]
