16y/0 killed by off duty fb cop

[LANTIRN]

Should have just called the cops and let them handle it.

But he is the cops!!!

[LANTIRN]

The local Fox channel indicated that the changeover to daylight saving time was what had made the offense pre-nighttime, which they said was 30 minutes past sunset. Had this occurred on standard time, it might have indeed been more defendable by the officer.

The cop still shouldn't have chased them for stolen property while off duty and shot them, but ths is a good example of why the law needs to be changed and the night time clause needs to be removed. If it is legal during day it should be legal at night and vice versa. It is repeat of the stupid night time speed limit changes we used to have. The law is basically saying it is ok to stop crime at night, but ok to commit it during the day because don't worry it is illegal to shoot you then. Fucking stupid but the the cop should not have chased them. But a bad guy is dead so good on that note.

Let's see if he's actually locked up.

Who is taking bets around here?

I would prefer DST be abolished altogether.

Time change has nothing to do however with the emotional, as opposed to what should have been rational, actions by an off-duty officer.

To say it's OK to stop crime at night by using deadly force is not what the law says. It only allows for a defense to prosecution after doing so. It is still likely that someone who uses deadly force against another, particularly for a property crime, will have to justify their actions to the satisfaction of a grand jury.

[CexMashean]

Should we take that as a yes?

Your posts really make it seem like you're proud to have a troubled youth.

Right, but it doesn't have that same defense to prosecution if happens in daytime and is regarding property, so you are more at risk then if you do take action. Why differentiate between night and day at all in written law? Just say it is a defense to prosecution if you are defending your property. I just don't understand the need for it to happen at night for you to be more protected, legally speaking.

It's because at night. it's dark. DUH!

The reason for it being written that way, as explained to me in a long-ago CHL class, was that it would presumably be more difficult for a property owner to determine if the perp committing the property crime was in possession of or brandishing a weapon after dark.

So... Is the other punk who survived gonna' be charged with burglary of a vehicle? or will Domingo Garcia and LULAC minions be parading him around as some kinda' hero?

The cop obviously overstepped his authority and the bounds of the law...and should be held accountable, but the two douche bag punks that instigated the situation by their own actions
hold some responsibility/consequences for the outcome as well.

It's a terrible situation for all parties.
