The whole ordeal could have ended right here. No more lives put at risk. No forced home searches etc.
To answer your first paragraph. Your life doesn't have to be in danger to legally shoot someone when some other persons life is in mortal danger.
No dispatcher will ever give the take down order ever to a citizen. That would open them up to huge liability. They will stay on the phone and listen to you gurgling and dying in your own blood but they won't even tell you to defend yourself.
HMDbrian were you at the recent 2nd ammendment shoot?
Your absolutely right, the dispatch cant tell you to take the shot, but they can tell you the officers are aware of your postion and do what you have to do. Your not calling for permission, your calling so the leo on the scen know you are not another terrorist backing them up.
Idk what id do honestly. Do you think with that many police firing on the terrorists they would even try to find where the death shot came from? If they didnt would you tell them?
But I bet they don't blow his legs off like he did to an 8 year old.No the CIA still needs to torture him for information.
No I was not, why do you ask?
No the CIA still needs to torture him for information.
I might call 911 and state that I have a clear shot while the officers don't, but since I'm not LEO and have no millitary background I would expect them to tell me not to interfere. For all I know SWAT could have them in their crosshairs and be ready to pull the trigger.
God forbid, if the LEO were downed and these guys were getting away with no resistance? Yeah, I'd probably drop em if I could.
