That may be the legal result, but we both know that's not because they are exonerated in court. It's because most DA's don't like charging the police they rely on for convictions. It's an inherent conflict of interest.


It also doesn't hurt that the system bails out risky behavior because the threshold for "fear for your life" is so low. I'm not suggest cops are out there trying to decimate civilians, but human nature will give you the necessary bravado to take on risky situations when you can be bailed out by shooting the suspect if it goes wrong.

Serious question, have you ever once been around someone that was acting foolish with a gun?

I've hunted all my life, and I've been around some serious idiots and guys that got drunk at camp and decided to shoot their gun randomly. I once had a guy drunk in college tape a 2 liter coke bottle to his shotgun as a make shift silencer to go shoot the raccoon in the backyard of a neighborhood.

I've been around guns all my life, but someone in the wrong mindset with a gun is scary AF. By the way you are talking, you have not been around guns and idiots with guns at all.

I would challenge you to go hang around some life threatening situations, and then come back and see how you feel.

Your comments are spot on for an idealistic world, but the world is real and life is far from ideal.
