That's right, a law was ACTUALLY passed limiting police use of deadly force. I am impressed beyond words and wish that Sacramento were not so expensive!!! A bill restricting police use of deadly force actually passed in this country. I'm utterly stunned. Rob
You might want to read the bill, and what got changed along the way...
I’m trying to picture a cop in some back alley pondering the difference between “reasonable” and “necessary”.
So, they've changed the standard of judgment the officer must use from a "reasonable" belief that the use of lethal force is necessary to prevent death or serious injury to yourself or others, to a judgment call that the use of lethal force is "necessary" to prevent death or serious injury to yourself or others.Originally Posted by gimmethesimplelife
Would you like to discuss the effect this will have?
