[QUOTE="tweetr, post: 567065, member: 5183"] Strongly, strongly disagree! Having been through a number of combat courses, armed and unarmed, military and otherwise, the first rule of man-to-man violent conflict is: control the weapon! I will not be placing my weapon on the ground where someone else can grab it. If the bad guy looks dead, eyes glazed, death-rattle in his throat, rictus distorting his features, I still will not leave his weapon anywhere that he or anyone else can grab it! I understand the argument about preserving evidence; but with respect, that is the policeman's job. My job is to preserve my life and that of my loved ones. I would rather still be alive to discuss the evidentiary niceties. Which leads me to my second point: Amen, preach it, brother! You are under no obligation to prove that you did not commit a crime. In the heat of the moment you will be in the worst possible mental state to give a considered statement. Your first words of any kind regarding what happened should be spoken to your attorney. (I can see my own attorney and dear friend nodding his approval.) :) As with so many other posts in this thread: This is not legal advice! I am not an attorney and I don't play one on television.
