Ok let me explain again
1- I said he opened the door for questioning of both the legality and the morality of the situation. Regardless of intent-he shot a purse snatcher-questions are going to arise because of that.
2- The bad guy chose badly he paid for it with his life. The Retired Leo made choices to-did he approach the snatcher with his gun drawn? Did he identify himself? These are questions that need to be answered before I can draw any conclusions and all I've done is ask questions.
3- Yes I have family in law enforcement and I intend to join a POST Academy next year once they open it up. I do not have first hand exp in dealing with these situations-I have family exp. It does not make me an expert but I stated my family connection with LE to help explain how much I love the profession and most of the people who do it.
4- My point was only this-there are bad apples everywhere, in such, I choose not to jump blindly into an opinion based on someones profession. My former pastor chose to have an affair and lie about it, my cousin was assaulted by police for being a smart ass. I do not trust someone off the bat because of their profession.
5-Correction, I was insulted by being called a Sheep. For anyone who reads into CCW/Gun owner literature we understand Sheep as people who choose to ignore threats and just become victims, while sheep dogs are people who choose to not be a victim.
6- Finally lets get this clear, I have no issue with someone using a weapon for self defense. I have no opinion on if this guy was wrong or right in using his weapon in this case. I don't have enough facts to have an opinion. MY statements were referring to what others had said.
