[QUOTE="tweetr, post: 3943095, member: 5183"] I agree this looks like a justifiable use of lethal force. The differences compared to my son's stop are, however, instructive. In the above video the officer responded to calls of someone with a shotgun shooting people in that vicinity. That in turn justifies his self-protective posture and quick resort to force. Contrast that with the incident I described: a brake light, which turns out not to be broken anyway! Where is the fire? Where is the urgency? Even if we grant a suspicion of marijuana (which I find tenuous at best) I can't justify the scenario from its inception. The public good in this instance is best served by [fill in the blank]. (Hint: leave the citizen alone to go peaceably about his business.) [/QUOTE]
