When you are genuinely in fear of your life, and you shoot to defend your self, that’s not “getting off.”
And, you’re right, maybe I should be teaching constitutional law. That way the rioters would understand escalation of force and disparity of force, the assumption an “unarmed” but much larger force can cause you mortal danger, and a one can react to the mob as if they pose a mortal danger
Maybe then people on the inter webs would quit acting like a mob who burned down a building the day before, and we’re actively throwing bricks at the Guardsmen became peaceful over night when they had time to rest up in their jammies and drink some chocolate milk?
Revisionist history much?
The last time I tried to explain Graham vs. Connor on this website, The Duck of Dumb cited the 8th Amendment.
