Serious question here- - - - -not pot-stirring. At what point would a deadly-force intervention by a private citizen be justified to prevent a uniformed officer from committing murder? Would beating an unconscious, non-resisting, and restrained person with a baton be sufficient cause for at least shooting to stop the threat, or would drawing a weapon and placing it against the head of a helpless detainee justify an armed response? At what point, if any, should a CCW carrier be compelled to fire on a rogue cop? Jerry
You can shoot somebody whenever you feel like it.
It's being able to explain your reasoning that gets kinda tricky.
But based on your posts so far, I'm pretty sure you'd be fugked regardless. Cop or otherwise.
No, you can't just shoot whoever you want whenever and wherever, even if you can explain it. In some states, the law does not permit you to use self-defense against an unlawful arrest, no matter how compelling the facts. Montana is such a state, FWIW.
