Topic | Protesting in Pittsburgh over Black Teen shot by Cop |
Jakyl25 06/24/18 8:07:15 PM #47: | Corrik posted... "Pennsylvania law allows officers to use deadly force against a fleeing suspect in only a handful of circumstances. It's permitted if the suspect poses a threat of immediate danger, has used or threatened lethal violence previously or possesses a lethal weapon." This case would not seem to fall under any of those, unless theres a threat we havent heard about. Yes he had previously used lethal violence, but Im going to ASSUME that the implication in these restrictions is that the officer must have actually seen it and not just be surmising it. If thats wrong then who needs the judicial system. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard! |
