Suppose you're in a restaurant. You hear shots. You look and see the shooter drop the gun, turn and run toward the door. Do you think the law says you can shoot him in the back to prevent his escape? Can you show me where it says that?speedsix wrote:...PC9:31 and 9:32 don't mention any fleeing felon rule...nor arrest...but since you bring that up...do you really believe we're justified in using deadly force to recover property involved in two of the crimes mentioned, robbery or aggravated robbery...and yet not justified in using deadly force in preventing the escape of someone who has just committed or was in commission of the crimes listed in 9:32(a)(2)(B)?apostate wrote:If "the deed is done" then you're talking about arrest, not preventing the crime. I don't believe the fleeing felon rule is in effect these days.
...edited to change 9:32(a)(1)(B) to 9:32(a)(2)(B), which is where the crimes are listed
