[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1593658, member: 18"] Then why would you demand 20/20 hindsight from anyone else? That is just the point. You cannot find a case where someone was shot SIMPLY for reaching for their wallet when asked for ID from police. The gang member example you cite offers no qualification for unexplained movement to the waistband. Now, if these same gang members surround you, ask you to give them a loan, and then one reaches for his back pocket you are certainly entitled to defend yourself just as any police officer would. I will be glad to serve as an expert witness in such a case. If I were to respond as a police officer and was aware of these facts, you can be certain that I would believe this to be a justifiable shooting and would voice same. I would guess that you are not stupid as well. The line of reasoning you used WAS stupid. Otherwise intelligent people have said/done plenty of stupid things, myself included. I simply try to mitigate my participation by avoiding making broad generalizations, especially about topics I'm not informed about and can't defend with evidence. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
