警方在是否开枪上是有开枪code of connduct合法程序,当警方意识到警察的个人安全受到威胁:以下是两个基本考虑因素(以及最高法院的判例):

Constitutionally, "police officers are allowed to shoot under two circumstances," The first circumstance is "to protect their life or the life of another innocent party" — what departments call the "defense-of-life" standard. The second circumstance is to prevent a suspect from escaping, but only if the officer has probable cause to think the suspect's committed a serious violent felony.

The key to both of the legal standards -- defense-of-life and fleeing a violent felony -- is that it doesn't matter whether there is an actual threat when force is used. Instead, what matters is the officer's "objectively reasonable" belief that there is a threat。

That standard comes from the Supreme Court case that guides use-of-force decisions: Graham v. Connor. This was a civil lawsuit brought by a man who'd survived his encounter with police officers, but who'd been treated roughly, had his face shoved into the hood of a car, and broken his foot — all while he was suffering a diabetic attack. The Court didn't rule on whether the officers' treatment of him had been justified, but it did say that the officers couldn't justify their conduct just based on whether their intentions were good. They had to demonstrate that their actions were "objectively reasonable," given the circumstances and compared to what other police officers might do.

当然不容易脱身。人家是非裔嘛,这是美国的政治现实。另一方面,精英们也有自己笃信的价值观。 -互联网- 给 互联网 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/16/2014 postreply 17:59:57

比如说,警察因超速同时叫停一个华人工程师和叫停一个michaelbrown样子的黑人,哪个更可能被搜身,当然是大个子黑人,不公平 -潜水员大爷- 给 潜水员大爷 发送悄悄话 潜水员大爷 的博客首页 (441 bytes) () 08/16/2014 postreply 16:52:35
