Reply to comment by gregra193 in New Haven Board of Ed. security officer fires gun at teen who was breaking into his car: PD by EasyE0287

You’re getting down voted but are 100% correct. Retreating = getting shot in the back which is unjustifiable.

Edit: some also mentioned that the guy was “reaching” while he was running. Dude was still running. Regardless of whether or not the thief was a piece of shit self defense ended when pursuit began.

Cops shoot unarmed people in the back and claim the person was reaching for something. They face no consequences.

Sure can, but that's why you don't pursue.

Yup, just let all criminals go. Connecticut's motto.
