Re: Man who died from knee to neck was from Texas

This is getting bad. I'm looking at a burning police station on CNN right now. National guard en route. I pray for those in Minneapolis right now.

Meaning - you witness this exact same scenario here in Texas...you tackle the cop to get him off the perp, etc....sure, you're going to probably get the snot kicked out of you, arrested, shot, tased...but...yeah, I'm not a lawyer...just thinking out loud...so, what can we do if we see this exact same scenario? Obviously calling the cops is not an option... :tiphat:

We both know what is right, but we also both know what is real.
IANAL, but I believe you can use deadly force to prevent aggravated assault, and definitely to prevent a murder. So technically, yes you could even shoot a cop in Texas, if they were in the process of killing a suspect, and be within the law.

And if you do, I predict that you will spend a long time in prison if you are not killed by the other cops on the scene, because you will not be able to convince a jury that you were actually witnessing a murder. But you will have saved the life of a potential murder victim, so there is that.

And the four cops were fired!
The police officers here should get a fair trial and if found guilty, they should get the same sentence that anyone else would get. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but the video definitely looks very bad for the law enforcement officers here.

The fact that they were fired immediately isn't a good sign.
