He does? This is the guy who said a cop who is being chased by a double murder suspect on video has no legal right to use lethal force. And then calls me uninformed....

You're entitled to your opinion, it is the internet afterall.
But I think that's part of the issue in threads like this. Posters tend to post their judgments having little understanding of what it is they are posting about.

Then he makes a bunch of other factual errors as outlined above....and you think he's coming from a position of knowledge? What is that knowledge?

You believe in a world of black and white where everyone, given a particular scenario will react identically.

Arg that is not at all what I'm saying. People can and do act however they want. The interpretation of that action is what I'm talking about and that is most definitely not going to be different every time. When it comes down to answering why you shot an unarmed, fleeing, broken signal light suspect in the back at 20 paces, any miriad of personal experiences and interpretations will not help you when presented with the video.

And now can everyone accept that this is the rationale that's forming a basis for this poster's opinion on this subject and just refrain from engaging him on this topic?

It's not an opinion or rationale. It is actually part of legal precident in the USA. You can shoot a murder suspect in the back when he/she is trying to escape...the logic being, they've already committed murder or grave harm and will likely do so again. You can't shoot a guy with a broken tail light if he is trying to escape.
