[quote=KFWA]justified may not be the right term
surely you can understand the public concern of shooting a 12 year old with a bb gun with little more than just a shrug of the shoulders and calling him stupid [/
Well, the part you forget about using deadly force is, that it is generally also justified in using such level of force to stop serious physical injury, as well as deadly force intent upon you.
But I digress, please answer my question How was that cop supposed to know it was a BB gun?
I never had said he was supposed to know.
