Hoped this would be the outcome - the “magic” forming moment of threat some lower courts have dreamed up basically said - no matter what happened before during-or after if at anytime a brave hero felt scared he could who ever for whatever reason and be justified.

Hopefully this will help correcting the things I constantly post - I’d be thrilled if I could end my YouTube channel the first morning I can’t find 500 horrible police interacting the news aggregates . Thrilled .

Don’t forget this case got to SCOTUS because some TX highway patrol boys pulled over a rental car that had a months old ticket against the plate for not paying a $6.00 toll- and with in seconds they shot him in the face a few times . Then investigated themselves and found that totally reasonable.

I think once you jump on the car you did it to yourself. You have a patrol car for a reason. It’s the same as a few years back when to cop jumped on a cars hood when they took off.
