I think that statement is false. The police can shoot escaping felony suspects or prisoners, which citizens generally cannot do.John wrote:So he is saying that in Florida, the new law doesn't apply to policemen?Many prosecutors oppose the laws, saying they are unnecessary at best and pernicious at worst. “They’re basically giving citizens more rights to use deadly force than we give police officers, and with less review,� said Paul A. Logli, president of the National District Attorneys Association.
Yeah, I think it's a bit of New York elitism.Sounds a little like a dig at us hicks in the south. or are we potential "alleged victims".Even before the new laws, Professor Kleck added, claims of self-defense were often accepted. “In the South,� he said, “they more or less give the benefit of the doubt to the alleged victim’s account.�

I've heard him on the radio a few times. He's not someone who can be pigeonholed as "liberal" or "conservative."S&W6946 wrote:Judge Napolotano (?) did the commentary on the law. I got the feeling that he did not like the law.
The spelling is Napolitano, BTW.
Cyphur, if you don't want to register for a web site (I'm often reluctant myself), you can usually get logons from http://www.bugmenot.com/.

New York Times article on castle doctrine
I am posting this for discussion:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/07/us/07shoot.html
This article contains some anecdotes that are alarming if true: a call girl who disarmed and shot a 72-year-old customer, and a man who shot an unarmed neighbor outdoors, neither prosecuted. Of course, who knows all the facts?
You can expect these stories to be repeated by the antis.
