Good shoot? I will defer to the experts but if the suspect had shot a person or persons and then fled maybe as he could be considered a threat to others. But I am not even sure of that in terms of the laws. But an apparently unarmed suspect running away; I think the shooter is in trouble. |

Probably not a legal shoot, although it should be.
I believe fleeing felons should be subject to deadly force if they do not stop when pursued by police. A lot of dead innocent citizens and officers could be saved if criminals knew police could "shoot on sight" when they flee. |

Not the smartest move, but the more the justice systems lets criminals get away murder the more citizens are going to start taking things into their own hands.

I'm picturing the shooter in a lifted truck with a Confederate flag on it.Maybe sporting a mullet as well.

He's in big trouble.
He had no right to use deadly force, unless he can articulate there was an immediate and reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm (permanent, long-term disfigurement, broken bones, etc). I'm guessing a guy who thought he could be a good guy and is gonna get pinched for it, unless his attorney can convince a jury he felt OTHERS were in fear as this person was driving in a threatening manner. It's all gonna depend on what he said to the police when they arrived. |

Unless I missed it beyond running from the cops what did the gut do? Let's say you're drunk and driving.... in your drunken state you decide to make another stupid decision and run from the cops. Drunk driving is stupid and so is running from the cops but people think it's a good shot? Just as bad as a liberal.... like it or not our judicial system is part of what made the United States great

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Good shoot? Police can't shoot fleeing suspects, much less Joe Citizen. The only time you can use lethal force is when you have a reasonable belief that the person you are shooting poses an imminent threat to your life or the life of another. As in dude has a bloody butcher knife and he's fleeing into a daycare center. If you are the last guy between Butcher Boy and the toddlers, you're probably in the clear to shoot him. But a dude just running from the police who isn't currently firing a weapon or stabbing anyone isn't going to be a good shoot. Generally any time there's a chase before the use of force, it's a bad use of force. Police have a duty to arrest. Joe and Jane citizen do not, and the courts frown upon Joe and Jane chasing down bad people and doing some level of violence to them. Should the courts feel that way is a separate question. Fact is that's the doctrine. Use of lethal force for citizens (and in most situations for police) is limited to a situation where you don't have another reasonable option. In other words, you don't have a choice. Chasing a guy down and shooting him, unless he's kidnapping your child, violates the idea of preclusion. If you can run to chase him you can just as easily run away from him. Etc. |

I don't give a fuck if he is a felon or not. Speeding in a car trying to elude police putting everyone else on the road in danger. I'm fine with shooting these people all day long.
Albeit he had already crashed vehicle and was on foot it will save us from his next run from police. GOOD SHOOT

Jesus. It is obviously not a good shoot. The man in question had no idea why the man was running from the police. It could be because he was carrying drugs, had warrants or 100 other things that are not capital offenses.
What if he killed the guy and the crime he was running from was shoplifting? WTF? You don't have a right to shoot someone unless your life is in danger. The guy deserves a long prison sentence. |

The article is too short on details about the interaction between the guy running and the shooter. If he just shot him on general principle he's fucked. If there was some type of violent encounter that he can articulate that will be a different story. Just because you are arrested doesn't mean you'll be charged, and just because you're charged doesn't mean it can't be dropped or beat in court.
