She also wants the law to require an officer to warn the suspect that he or she is about to use deadly force. She wants deadly force to be a last resort.
"As a practical matter, that happens in every case anyway," Millikan said.

She is not all there. I'm sure that officer Wilson didn't tell his assailant that he was going to use deadly force while being attacked in his vehicle. If that were law, then officer Wilson would have been guilty because he didn't warn his assailant that he was going to use deadly force.

The fail is strong with this one.

Interesting thread on another board. The action is in the last few seconds of the video and doesn't include the actual shot fired, but it gives a non-LEO like me an idea of how fast something seemingly mundane can go wrong. I'd like for Sen. Nasheed to review this video and explain exactly where the warning should be given.

The speed of lethal force


ETA: Most of the respondents on this thread are LEO. At least a couple are trainers.

I watched that not believing that the officer was talking to this hinky guy who was acting suspiciously, letting him keep his hands in his pockets. You can get shot through a coat pocket with a revolver without someone even drawing the gun.

I'm going to say this one has no chance in passing. I can't believe someone would even write this sort of bill. It puts police at a significant disadvantage if they ever feel the need to use deadly force.

You don't get 10 extra seconds when you need to use deadly force. A few seconds could mean your life.

She thinks the law is too broad in the discretion it gives officers to decide when the use of deadly force is needed. She even says she doesn't know what it means.

I would contend the she hasn't been in a situation that would warrant it yet because she doesn't know. It's like one judge said about pornography, I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. Roughly speaking, of course.

If you're in a situation where deadly force is allowed or needed, I'm betting you'll know it at the time.

Maybe she should watch this:

Man shoots, kills police wearing body cam

Pants up!!! Don't loot!!!

I think the faint sound of my safety going "click" is about as much warning as one will get from me.
