I don't, it doesn't really.
People have been saying that.
But if anything, the fact he's an officer means he should be more.
You know, maybe a civilian would be able to get away with a justification defense in that situation when an officer wouldn't say, you know, I was so scared.
I just started firing and I couldn't stop.
But an officer is supposed to be trained not to do exactly that, to use, you know, very precise force necessary to stop threats.
But...
And then I also wanted to address the CBS thing, which is frankly, first of all, when I saw that, I was like, well, I don't trust CBS at all.
Nor should I or anybody else.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But again, the fact that he was injured does not justify the use of deadly physical force if he was injured.
Okay.
I thought fans went to law school.
It was barred too.
No, there's no doctrine that says police officers or any law enforcement officers have immunity and they can just do whatever they want.
The standard is they have to show that what they did was necessary and proper to effectuate their duties.
So it's kind of a circular standard.
Like you would have to show the court that it was necessary and proper and then that's going to get into the justification.
