British Pensioner 78, Arrested For Murder Against Home Intruders

Nope its not self defence. We are in USA so it's self defense.

 

I believe y'all have more officer friendly laws than we do. We are never in writing commanded to shoot anyone. We are authorized to, but not commanded or required. We used to be automatically be authorized to shoot fleeing sentenced felons. It then changed to sentenced forcible felons. I am not sure what it is now. I just operated under means, opportunity, and jeopardy.

 

And his "ministers" - Law Enforcement and Military.

I am a USAF veteran and part of the militia of the United States of America.

In fact ANY armed citizen of the United sates continues part of the armed militia.

I am ready and able (for the most part, I am 75) to do my duty when called upon.

 

I didn't quote anybody, I said "supposedly" get your facts right next time and address the issues instead of me.

EDIT: Example:

 

My facts are right. You summarized our statements. You did so falsely.

 

Gee, I wonder where he got this impression from???

Now, some might understand why I stepped up to addressed rhetoric here to keep it in check...Hmm

 

Perhaps, but the job is entirely different. We aren't dealing with suspects, but convicted felons. Our job is first and foremost to protect the public by keeping them incarcerated.

And we must always remember, any use of deadly force has to be justified to the satisfaction of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice that employs us and writes the policies. They will have to defend us if it goes to court, and they won't hesitate to throw you to the wolves if there is any doubt.

 

I was speaking more of how we handled inmates in the county jail. The state takes its precious time picking them up.
