Re: Police: Officer in Missouri shot, Killed man who Pulled Gun.....
I literally never said that. I said to use your own discretion at answering questions, and ask for a lawyer and remain silent if you aren't comfortable answering.
In the case you are talking about, there were no questions because he allegedly drew a firearm and aimed it at a police officer. He failed at step 1.
Context is everything - you were adamant, 100%, never say a word, just ask for a lawyer.
That's great advice in this case because the guy was carrying a gun, registration unknown, concealed probably without a permit, and thus a criminal as he stood there living and breathing. Who knows - perhaps if he'd simply answered the officer's questions, he could be on DP today bitching about police brutality instead of getting prettified for the funeral.
