Gentlemen,
Not to stir the hornets nest.....For my own misunderstanding, but if Mr. Brown had killed or wounded the suspect when he fled, couldn't he of been charged with man slaughter or been held liable in civillian court? According to my understanding, I thought you were only allowed to use deadly force when your life is threatened - I could of sworn I've heard stories of criminals sueing their victims for wounding them while they fled, something about the victim not being justified in using deadly force because their attackers were fleeing and thus no longer in danger.
Thank you for clarification.
