None of these questions are toward you Trim, 'cuz God knows I don't want Steve dave coming
down on me.
Never heard of you, while edn is 1) the guy I remember as hating Pullen or Beasley or both and 2) this thread.
It sounds like you're asking about the fleeing felon stuff.
Here's the case along with a really brief synopsis.
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=471&invol=1http://www.casebriefs.com/blog/law/criminal-law/criminal-law-keyed-to-lafave/justification-and-excuse/tennessee-v-garner-4/It's not so much a "capture the bad guy who's running away by shooting him" thing, but a "prevent a known or reasonably believed danger" thing.
So in the scenario that's been presented, with Brown down and defeated and not a danger, and then shot dead, I don't see the fleeing felon concept applying.
Obviously if the facts aren't that, things change. Realize that the debate about murder and degrees stemmed from RATM saying the presented scenario wouldn't be 1st degree murder and me and others pointing out why it would. That's been spun to us saying that this is 1st degree murder right now no matter what facts are given to a jury, even though I've made it pretty clear that everything is contingent on what's presented to a jury and how, and that I don't think that will happen sufficiently no matter what the facts actually were.
But for current argument's sake and the court of public opinion, you can infer a lot from how the Ferguson cops are trying to get over on everyone, as if a bunch of $30K/year cops who've already demonstrated a lot of stupidity are gonna outwit anyone.
