if they feel the need to pull their weapon, then they feel they are in mortal danger and should shoot to kill.
That's not necessarily true. If they feel the need to shoot their weapon, then they should shoot to kill.
I've had a cop who felt the need to pull his weapon on me when I wasn't even commiting a crime. I was paining a friend's condo and his dumbass neighbor saw me smoking outside when I was taking a break and called the police.
The cop came to the patio door which was open for ventilation purposes and opened it. I asked if there was a problem and he said "Do you live here?"
I said "No" and before I could finish saying "I'm painting the place" I had a gun in my face and I was being told to get on the ground.
Well, things got cleared up fairly quickly once I got the chance to explain. The cop even appologized to me for pulling hs gun, and I told him "No problem. I'd have doen the same thing if I was you. I'm just happy that I'm wearing overalls. I can just throw them away instead of having to clean the **** out of them".
Anyway, the point is that he wasn't in any danger but he was justified in pulling his weapon.
Apparently the dumbass neighbor said I was an asian guy. How the **** she came to that conclusion nobody will ever know. Basically, he needed to neutralize any possible threat form me while his partner looked around for this mythical asian guy.
In the end, the whole situation was pretty funny. If he had decided that he was in mortal danger and shot to kill, though, nobody would have been laughing.
Edited to add: On the tazer issue, if he had had a tazer instead of a gun and had actually shot me with it, it would have been ****ing hilarious. Painful, but hilarious.
