Key point; you were making an arrest, not stopping a psychopath by any means possible. If you'd bashed the suspect over the head with a metal chair while the others were driving pencils into his groin and kidneys, there would have been some issues down at the station later. These guys were under no such obligation to "bring him in alive."tfrazier wrote:Having had to wrestle men that size to the ground before (with the help of a half-dozen or so fellow LEOs), I can tell you that even had all six of the men in the room piled on immediately there still was a good chance the nut-case would have retained his gun and likely injured or killed one or more of them. It would have been like six ticks on a water buffalo.

Think we can get a modification passed? Something along the lines of "(4) regardless of the above, if any person with more sense than a stewed carrot can tell it's the right thing to do."Greybeard wrote:Sec. 9.22. NECESSITY. Conduct is justified if:
(1) the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm;
(2) the desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, the harm sought to be prevented by the law proscribing the conduct; and
(3) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed for the conduct does not otherwise plainly appear.
