Read my above post. There are very few circumstances that would require shooting someone in the back. Just running away isn't one of them, nor is refusing to obey a cop's command. They'll get caught sooner or later anyway, then add additional charges as warranted. Again, I despise over zealous use of a firearm. Period.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Again, read my quote! You'd just prefer shooting someone in the back for J walking and running away?
Hell, I ran from the cops when I was underage when they raided our beer parties. Should they have shot
me in the back? You just don't shoot someone in the back for petty crimes just because they ran!
Anyone with a firearm should use common sense before firing it. I taught firearms courses for over 20
years, so I do know a bit about firearms uses and safety, as well as observing the surroundings if you miss.

Strawman; now you are lying like a leftist. Where did I say this?
Why did you run? Did you do something wrong?
Where did I say that we should shoot people in the back for petty crimes? More strawmen. I swear I must be arguing with a leftist.
So if someone is coming at an officer who has commanded they halt, and they continue coming at them, the officer should first determine if they have committed a petty crime and not fire until the perp attacks them?
So fucking what? Your argument is lame and filled with strawmen.
What does this have to do with the actual situation police find themselves in when confronting criminals?

If you're so damned adamant about shooting someone in the back for doing stupid shit, I suggest you reassess your own understanding of the use of a firearm in a given situation.
Yeah, I was a firearms instructor, and yes, armed civilians could find themselves in those same situations, but I would never tell them to just shoot someone in the back because
they're running away unless they pose a threat to other people. That is simple common sense. End of discussion, because it looks like I'm arguing with a leftist, an incompetent one.

Aren't you suggesting it's OK for a cop to shoot someone in the back for running away? I merely pointed out the situation I thought it should be considered.
Did you see where the woman cop shot the drunken guy's mother (who is still in the hospital from a month ago) because she missed him when she was attacked trying to serve a warrant?
That was self defense, but she didn't hit her target who was only feet away from her, if that, and hit an innocent bystander. That is also one of the points I'm trying to make. Fortunately,
the woman cop only suffered a concussion and backup came and restrained the drunk, but she never hit who she was shooting at and hit the guy's mother, an innocent bystander.

No. I am saying that if you are caught in a crime, and you ignore commands to put your hands up and lay down, and instead, you move towards the cop in a threatening manner, or RUN away; you just might get shot.
It's pretty basic. This video will review the rules of engagement for those too stupid to comprehend the obvious:

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
