That’s the standard for self defense. If someone killed a Nazi in similar circumstances, they’d be right to invoke it.

Zimmerman is a colossal piece of poo poo who should have been convicted. That’s a Florida problem, not one with how the basis of self defense laws are founded.

the problem with zimmerman claiming self defense is that he created the danger he claims to have been in. the same thing is true of police.

i am not making a broader argument against fatal self-defense, only about cops; zimmerman was acquitted and lauded by people who recognized he was doing cop work.

exactly this. how much money is spent on their equipment and training? how much praise do they demand for how they "put their lives at risk" to "keep people safe?"

the zimmerman defense, and you're defending it.

That's the law in use of deadly force in most states as far as I'm aware.

Also, several things: Zimmerman put himself in the situation in the first place. He shouldn't have been out there to begin with. What he did was racial profiling, for one, and not his business at all. Every official neighborhood watch ever has been told by police to just call the cops and never to contront anyone. By all accounts he confronted that poor kid. That's not what a "reasonable person" would do, and the fact of the matter is, he should've been charged and convicted of murder 2, or at least negligent homicide. Who even knows if Zimmerman's story of getting his rear end kicked was even true? We don't know. He could've killed the poor kid and staged his injuries to make himself look better.

There are times when some assailant (otherwise unarmed) is beating the poo poo out of someone where the bad guy need to be stopped using deadly force. Whether it's a cop or a civilian, I think if a reasonable person would also fear for their life, I think they should be legally allowed to use deadly force. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you'd agree with me that a woman being beaten by her husband or ex boyfriend should be able to legally defend herself with deadly force without worrying about getting arrested. The law does get perverted in many cases, and I have a huge problem with that. But that's a problem of enforcement, prosecution, and DAs - not with the letter of the law itself.

PookBear posted:

cops are loving idiots incapable of grasping the idea of standoff range when dealing with someone that is possible armed. Some kid has a plastic toy and they'll loving roll up inside 10m to shoot him instead of staying 100m away out of his range. Same with anything they consider to be a melee weapon.

Yuuup. Time, distance, and cover, needs to be ingrained harder. It just seems like it isn't. So many OIS vids on Youtube just show example after example of poo poo training.

Cops in this country do not want to deescalate the current situation because they have a lawful monopoly on force and any peaceful solution would extremely diminish the power wielded by police unions and others that actually control the law enforcement in this country, even if said solutions had actual positive effects on the regular law enforcement members.

Trump is, of course, responsible for his own actions. However, ever since his acquittal, every single Republican senator is also. (Give or take a Romney).
