And assuming all other things equal, do you think the difference might be the difference in your training versus the training of a campus police officer? I'm assuming they get less training....but I don't know.gigag04 wrote:Naked and unarmed will be a tough sell for a DF incident unless the guy tried to take his gun.
With the limited info I'd go hands or intermediate weapon before going to my gun. That said...who knows what version we're getting.
Re: the jury comments, I often say that juries are generally 12 people not smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Before you flame me, I realize some people are interested in court, or like to serve the community, but in my experience, my generalization holds true.

Re: Campus police officer shoots and kills naked student
A taser is a less lethal self-defense measure? I thought tasers were just for putting potty mouth soccer moms at traffic stops, people who talk back to politicians, and unruly school children in their place.tacticool wrote:TXPPQ wrote:If what you said was truly the case and this turned out to be one of those Universities that prohibited the use of less than lethal measures, then my opinion would absolutely change and I would say that the officer was completely justified in using the only deterrent he had available to him. Though why a university would think that employing less than lethal measures would be any worse than shooting somebody in terms of PR is beyond me.and especially shooting a student.
It may be completely justified for the officer but it's likely to be a PR black eye for the university.
