"Officer Safety" is good cause for shooting.
Hello All,
Do any of you remember the Chris Dorner incident from LA? It was last February, 2013.
Two ladies were shot-up while delivering newspapers and a surfer was shot-up after the surfer left a police checkpoint. Officer Safety was used as an excuse. Attempted murder charges have not been brought against the LEOs involved. Misdemeanor charges for illegal discharge in a prohibited area have not been brought against the LEOs involved.
One more thing...Chris Dorner was dangerous; however, not one LEO bullet hit him, grazed him, or killed him. Dorner had to kill himself. When a real threat exists LEO is inefective. Law abiding citizens are much easier targets for LEO.
We will probably find out that the man with the rifle in Everett was looking for suicide by cop. If that is the case, it is a bad deal for everybody involved.
If it was not a legitimate shoot, the police officers will be shielded by "officer safety" and "protecting the public." They will finish their careers and retire somewhat wealthy.
