Who the fuck tries to arrest some guy with an open assault charge while off duty in wal mart?
|
|
How is assault defined in Ala.? In Fla., both assault and battery require intent, and the article says the shooting was accidental.
|
|
And what would happen to Joe Citizen if he "accidently" shot someone? |

Morgan County Sheriff Ana Franklin said Huntsville Police Department will likely complete their investigation by the beginning of next week. At that point, it will be handed over to the district attorney. From one of the other links. In her interview she said all of her deputies are under the microscope. |

That's just it, without intent, it doesn't qualify under the assault 2 statute. Classifying a minor gunshot wound as serious physical injury is a huge stretch.

And if it wasn't a felony probation violation? and if he wasn't wanted on a felony charge? yeah that would do it in a lot of places. |

Hopefully LEOs use this example nationwide TO DO NOTHING, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES off duty.

Quoted: I don't see how the outcome would be different if he were on duty. I think it's odd that he's charged, but if it was a bad shoot off-duty, it'd be a bad shoot on-duty.

Can't be shootin' fleeing felons unless they pose a great enough threat to the public that it would justify using deadly force to seize 'em. |

Using only lawful amounts of force is also part of the job. If the officer actually used excessive force then good on the department for bringing up charges. |

Also this was not a NEW walmart, so there are about 48 cams everywhere. Ever notice that, NEW walmarts have no cams, or very few. The old, crufty ones have 48-98 cams pointed everywhere. But I digress. You how to avoid being a probation skipping felon being shot in the azz??? Thats right, don't be a probation skipping felon. I wonder why the off duty officer didn't simply phone this one in? A felon shopping at walmart isn't likely to be in a hurry, he would have been there long enough for uniformed officers to arrive. I am thinking the LEO knew this guy somehow. |

From what I heard/read on the news around here some witnesses didn't think it looked so accidental thus the charges....FWIW of course

Even then it is a crap shoot on whether the officer will decide to shoot based on scenario. Probation violations? Not like it is a critical incident. A phone call to have officers meeting to the front of the store? So easy it is rediculous. |
