does that clear you of any responsibility to anything that happens outside of the "clear and present danger"? you know friendly fire type of instances.

Like if a person attacks a friend and me, I shoot at the person, but hit my friend?

There are greater legal minds than mine on these boards who will probably know more definitively, but from what I understand, a justified, but errant self-defense shot that hits a bystander would not result in liability (though there are many good arguments to be had that it should).
 
Isn't that what "innocent until proven guilty" means?
 
Can I ask you a question? Why are you concerned with this? No one is debating whether or not police should have killed the shooter of that cop.
 
No it doesn't.

There are maybe a handful of cases in which cops kill citizens that get media attention. When cops are killed, it's definitely a news story.
 
Right. In both situations, it's a foregone conclusion, but there is usually some investigation and process when a cop kills somebody.

Which is a problem to some.

7-Year-Old Accidentally Shot at Louisiana Elementary School

Authorities say a 7-year-old boy was accidentally shot in a first-grade classroom by another student in Louisiana. Nobody else was wounded.

Calcasieu (KAL-kuh-shoo) Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso said the boy was shot a few minutes before 8 a.m. Monday. Police said in a news release that the boy was in surgery.

Mancuso says the loaded gun fell out of a first-grader's backpack in the classroom, where a second student picked it up. The sheriff says the gun went off by accident.

Not a single person on these boards on the non-crazy side of RJKarl are anti-cop. I will guarantee that.

But we all recognize most cops act like douchebags, right? I had to file a police report down at central a few weeks ago and this dude clearly couldn't pass 9th grade if he had to take it over again and yet still had all the ego.
