If you or I did that, we'd be prosecuted for attempted murder. Police privilege is a national nightmare.

- talmand 10y agoThat is very true, for several reasons. If it is determined a bad shoot, the officer may face such charges as well. But police privilege is necessary, because otherwise everyone will simply look the other way. No one will accept the potential consequences of intervening in criminal activity otherwise. Proper training would help prevent the negativity of allowing such privileges.
