James Duane is a fantastic speaker. He always sounds so calm and excited at the same time.
Should be in jail....That "prosecutor" is full of crap.
I'll give you the same advice I give my family. If you are involved in a self defense shooting, give responding officers a "public safety" statement. Essentially, "This person was trying (add in applicable felony), I was in fear for my life (or the life of a 3rd party), and I had to protect myself." Let them know if there are other suspects outstanding. However, don't get into the details. You want to set the basic scene for responding officers, so they can start their investigation. However, a detailed (official, recorded) statement should involve a lawyer.....PERIOD!!! Follow your lawyers advise. It's the same advise I give my officers as well. It's just smart.
I wouldn't say it would not happen, just look at the Rittenhouse nonsense, but in Indiana you don't have a duty to retreat and you can protect a third party.LOL… My first thought when reading the title of the thread was ”What the…?”. I’ve seen this video before. I don’t know where this prosecutor is from but would his take ever happen anywhere in Indiana?
So ANY legal insight should be taken with a grain of salt if it's not specific to existing State laws where you live. That is the downside of these YouTube videos. They might be entertaining but they could be perpetuating bad legal advise.I wouldn't say it would not happen, just look at the Rittenhouse nonsense, but in Indiana you don't have a duty to retreat and you can protect a third party.
I believe Colion is from Texas, but I don't know where this was supposed to take place
This is essentially what John Farnam (and other cops I’ve talked to) teaches in his classes, along with pointing out any evidence helpful To you, like “he dropped his gun in those bushes can as he ran away.”I'll give you the same advice I give my family.

In other words state the foregoing basics and then shut the $$LL up and ask for an attorney and then shut up again! No matter how the police may cajole you, shut up. The more you talk the more you are screwed. Shut up, that is what the 5th Amendment is all about.I'll give you the same advice I give my family.

Like many 'real life' electeds, yes.That "prosecutor" is full of crap.
How 'bout we just train to NOT lose track of how many shots we throw at a fleeing "threat?" Are they still a threat while fleeing?
The shot in the back is the whole problem, right? Could likely be the whole difference in whether you are charged with anything or not, correct?
.
Getting the number of shots wrong in an actual incident is incredibly common. High end “operator” types get it wrong.
Don’t answer that question. Don’t guess at an answer.
The time it takes to recognize changes and then react takes time and results in people getting shot in the back. Stop going with the gun grabber nonsense of "he was shot in the back" bs.I guess what I'm trying to get at is not as much the number of shots vs programming in to stop shooting when the attacker flees?
