It's amazing the constraints that a LAC is under in a SD situation. We can't fire a warning shot, we dare not brandish, we dare not even say 'I haz a gun' (unless we don't have one), and we have to retreat, we dare not shoot an unarmed person even if they are a giant athletic type and we are a small person, and in the end we have to prove to a jury that we were, indeed, in fear for our lives. Even with that, a small female who accidentally discharges her firearm at an abusive spouse has the spouse testify against her and she faces a 15 year prison term.
However, LEOs can shoot a small female with a paring knife 5 times, can shoot an elderly person in his driveway 15 times, can taser a 14 yo child to death, can taser a 95 yo disabled elderly person to death and nothing at all happens to them.
I ask you who are the real danger to our lives and well being? It's not the typical bad guy on the street.
IMO a typical LEO probably breaks the law, be it constitutional or other ordinance (such as traffic laws) more times in a day than I do in a lifetime.
