It's a weird edge case, since we know virtually all of the facts of the event (an officer shot and killed the person with intent to do so), so let me ask you directly: is doubt about whether the victim was reaching for a gun reasonable here? Because that's the standard to apply.
- shawnz 9y agoNo, it is 100% not reasonable to assume that someone is going to attack you just based on the fact that 1) they claimed to be legally carrying a gun and 2) they moved their hands after being asked to grab something. How is this even up for debate?
