to all of us who havent been there, its easy to say you would shoot. i have no problem if the threat was advancing. peacetime or wartime, militarily or as a civilian. the adrenals glands would flow even faster if someone i cared about next to me caught a bullet.
but the threat was leaving. and to shoot ANYONE IN THE BACK is pretty spooky for me. granted if my family was cut into lil pieces and the guy/gal is standing there with a bayonet,blood all over him/her i have no doubt i would shoot until clip/mag/belt empty as they were running away.
how about an IED goes off and a number of people start running. did they do it? or not? another tough call?
to call it right on this one is close. to kill someone in the back will be some heavy PTSD for the guy. i know a number of cops that have watched "sgt. rock" kind of cops break down mentally after killing someone. each of us is wired different. all dramas are fueled differently. each can handle different levels of stress and for how long???
i'd really like to see how this entire story ends up documented legally not he said she said evidence.
tough call for everyone involved. cops/attorney(both sides)/guy/wife/friends/family members of dead ups dude etc.
