That is correct.  A cop cannot shoot someone for trying to get away unless that suspect is likely to represent a threat of physical harm to another.  Different states have different rules (for fleeing felons) but pretty much this is common law and case law.  You can't shoot someone for running---they haven't been tried and convicted of anything.

 Not too late to talk some sense from now on, for a change! It might have felt so good! Note: The arresting cop didn't shoot Larken Rose [although I suspect they would have love to] because he was too scared to run away ... But you know what, he missed his opportunity to shoot cops dead as he sounded so brave in his writings and video announcing to the public that cops and government officials should be killed! The balls just shrunk, or were not there

[As corrected] It is neither too old nor too late to talk some sense from now on, for a change! It might have felt so good, buddy!

Staying in the dark for so long is so depressing. It feels good to be out of the hole to see the light!

Note: As you said, the cops don’t shoot a running suspect, unless the suspect is shooting them while making his escape. It is NOT a Common Law or a Case Law – what you are saying are miles away from what it is! That’s the problem when you are not even a lawyer and you intrude in the legal domain sounding like an authority! I feel sick about it.

Here, let me guide you so that from now on you do not mislead the public. You will be tried under our Penal Code for shooting a cop. It is a punishable public offense where you will be tried in a case of the People v. You. Statutes that grant a civil action versus a wrongdoer are not considered Penal but merely Remedial [Law on Civil Procedure]. Now, that should take care of your claptrap!

For you to understand what I am saying, I will cite to you a vivid example which you are familiar with: The arresting cop didn't shoot Larken Rose [although I suspect they would have love to] because he was too scared to run away or to even open his aperture to badmouth a cop while standing in front of an arresting officer ... !

Buy if you see and listen to his video, he is so brave, and meaner than Rambo when he is in his shoot-all-cops-dead mode!

But you know what? He missed his opportunity to shoot cops dead while being arrested for tax evasion. I guess the balls just shrunk, or were not there at that crucial moment. He just wanted others to do what he preached. And him … oh, no, no… he felt it is so dangerous to do the shooting himself!

And here you have a glimpse of Larken Rose’s mental profile as it relates to this cops-and- robbers report. He is not only a mentally disturbed specimen of a cop-abuser but also a weakling … a ball-less run-away fraidy-cat.

In this page, it always feels good to shed and share the light of wisdom and knowledge to those who need it.

Good job, Phantom75. That’s straight to the point! This light-sharing is another strand of gray hair added to Powell Gammill’s aging crown to make him look wiser!
