A 20 year police Sgt. in St. Louis, Missouri has been indicted by a grand jury for 2nd. degree murder for shooting a unarmed fleeing felon that had just committed a violent crime on a senior citizen and his 10 year old grandson.
The criminal attacked the senior citizen with a screwdriver while car jacking his vehicle. The citizen and his young grandson were able to escape from the vehicle and walk away. The criminal then tried to run down the citizen and his grandson with the stolen vehicle. He struck the citizen causing injury to his leg but missed the child.
The criminal then crashed the vehicle and started to flee the scene on foot. This incident was witnessed by a off duty officer going home from work and in full police uniform. The criminal resisted arrest by fleeing down a alley and was shot by the officer and later died.
The local D.A. who is noted for being a liberal, he also accepted campaign money from liberal billionaire George Soros who only supports liberal politicians that are anti police. This D.A. convened a grand jury and was able to indict the officer on a charge of murder.
Missouri has a fleeing felon law that is the same as in my state CA. That law allows an officer to use deadly force on a fleeing violent felony criminal to prevent his escape if it is reasonable to believe he-she poses a future danger to the public.
I will leave it up to you to decide if the fleeing felon posed a danger to a member of the public if he was allowed to escape and remain at large in the community.
If this keeps up, many officers will just ignore any situations that may place them in danger of being Monday night quarterbacked by liberals in office who fail to follow the law as written.
