[QUOTE="Airmanslice, post: 288866, member: 3271"] Well, I've been arrested, for something that I didn't do. But I still refused to say anything until I got a lawyer. All the cops thought I was guilty as all hell but I didn't care. I knew that if I would have stated talking they would have started asking a lot of confusing questions really fast and I would have gotten even more nervous than I already was and said something stupid. I grew up in a family of cops and detectives and they all like to call the person their interrogating a liar no matter what story they get. I knew that was going to happen so I didn't give a statement. The arresting officer told me what was reported and I said "what?" I cooperated and he even let me empty out my pockets for him, and then patted me down anyway. He appreciated the cooperation but nothing beyond that. I guess in a shooting scenario, it would be best just too state basic facts, offer your assistance and then shut up. Of course it differs if there's whitenesses or not but I'm not going to get into that. I think that explaining that you're shaken up and need some time (and a lawyer) before you start explaining things would help too. But I really don't know. A lot of you guys have some really good ideas too. [/QUOTE]
