But you are talking about an 'immediate threat TO THE OFFICER' and I am talking about an 'immediate threat TO THE PUBLIC'. Anyone who suddenly, with ,no provocation, attacks an officer and struggles over his weapon, is considered an immediate threat to public's safety.
If the law needs changing, then so be it. Maybe the protestors should be targeting the law they want changed, and not unfairly targeting the officer. Right now, they have been chanting for his death. They are demanding he be fired and arrested immediately, even demanding he be found guilty.
THAT is what I consider unjust. I have no problem reconsidering the legislation. Although in this particular case, I see a valid reason for the officer to have used lethal force. If in fact, MB bum rushed the officer and shoved him back into his vehicle and punched him in the face, and grappled over the gun, then OW was justified in using any means necessary to stop him from running amok. jmo
