Calif. Change from Reasonable to Nessecary Force

[Bunyfofu69]

Change coming on use of force?

According to the press conference, an example is not to engage, and wait for backup, or to not provoke a suspect into fleeing, should he be hit by a car, the LEO will be held liable.

What kind of effect will this have on active enforcement?

Its very problematic. It wouldn't solve what happened in Sac nor would it prevent similar events. The pursuing officers believed the suspect had a gun (or saw what they thought was a gun). If an officer believes an individual has a firearm, responding with gunfire IS "necessary force." If it turns out that individual only had a cell phone, its unfortunate. But if I'm faced with what I believe is a gun pointed at me, the force I respond with is going to be what I perceive as necessary...

Changing the use of deadly force from "reasonable" to "necessary" doesn't make an LEO's job easier. And holding officer's criminally liable for any force deemed "not necessary" is backwards. And nevermind the thousands who are killed by criminals each year, its the cops we have to worry about

We'll have to first try to talk them down, next use less-lethal, and hope they don't gun us down. Then after exhausting all other means, maybe we'll get to shoot back. Maybe.

Two words...

Broward County.

You get what you ask for California. How many kids are gonna die?

Sounds dramatic? Last count as of a couple months ago was 17 while a bunch of cops waited for backup. 17 kids who will never come home to their parents. It's unacceptable and despicable, but much of California seems to think it's the way cops should do business. If this passes people will die because of it. That said, it's never stopped the government of CA before.

While we watch a country be guided so expertly into anger over assault weapons (because 17 is too many, but hey... we're not after your guns... 15 is okay with a handgun. Or maybe that's too much so 6 is okay with a revolver. Wait... We're okay with one dead child because it was a muzzle loader...) we're ignoring the fact that the Parkland shooter could have been stopped before he started. He could have been stopped during his rampage.

Yet we ignore because it doesn't fit the agenda.

Anyone who wants to ban assault weapons is eventually going to want to ban semi auto rifles, handguns, revolvers, muzzle-loaders, sharp knives, pointy sticks, rocks, and mean attitudes... Or they are ok with people dying because they don't want to solve the problem... they just want "the problem" to not be so bad.

Interesting times.

What I'd really like to see is the actual text.

I've just spent half an hour reading assorted articles that mention "Police Accountability and Community Protection Act".

It's past time for new bills to be introduced, so this has to be a gut and amend of an existing bill. But none of the articles bothers to mention the bill number. Introduced today, the actual text won't be officially available until later in the week.
