Obviously false. You really only needed to see about ten sceonds without sound to know that.



Similar, but even more obviously false because the answer is in your statement.



You did back up on this one. But as it is written, utterly and patently false.



Wrong again. What is a reasonable fear for one person is reasonable for the next person. And what is execesive force is the same for everyone whether they are scared for their life or not.



Yes. It should be, IF the story is factually accurate and you don't have 5 cops telling 5 different stories. That is the goal of legislation. Like I said, 5 cops shooting a misdemeanor suspect in the back at 20 paces will be wrong 5 times out of 5 unless there is no bystander video and the only witnesses are other cops. Then the "feared for my life" standard operating procedure in cop police reports works great.

Training? I suspect your gritty, real world experience is going to trump whatever I got going on. So you win that one.
