In Blank's perfect world, this is how that scenario plays out.
Number 1, the guy wouldnt have a gun because guns wouldnt be available to the public. If he took hostages with a knife or some other object, the police would storm in and shoot him with beanbags or some other nonlethal weapon type. He would then spend the next year of his life visiting a therapist, in which case the state would probably declare him unfit to return to work, he would then be set up in a nice section8 home where he no longer had to be stressed out by the the obligation of bills or working, he would then live out the rest of his life peacefully while be cradled in the loving arms of father government. There's no such thing as punishment in this world, everything about life caters to the inadequacies of each individual. There's no fail or succeed, there's only do or let someone else do for you.
That's blank's world.
ok, tell you what.
Go get your gun, walk down the street, take a hostage, then, when police officers CALMLY try to talk you out, start firing shots at them, and demand how they shold not be allowed to use deadly force. Let me know how that turns out.
For someone that claims to know the law, this is pretty bad of you to even try to argue, but I assume you are just trolling.
AHEM
Firing a weapon is deadly force, deadly force is allowed to be used by officers. Case closed.When police officers are arresting someone for a felony, the courts have given them a little more leeway. The police may use all the force that is necessary to overcome resistance, even if that means killing the person they are trying to arrest. However, if it is proved that an officer used more force than was necessary, the officer can be held criminally and civilly liable. In Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1, 105 S. Ct. 1694, 85 L. Ed. 2d 1 (1985), the Supreme Court ruled that it is a violation of the Fourth Amendment for police officers to use deadly force to stop fleeing felony suspects who are nonviolent and unarmed. The decision, with an opinion written by Justice byron r. white, said, in part, "We conclude that such force may not be used unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."
EDIT: also, only 1 shot was fired by the officer, WHO WAS SHOT IN THE FUCKING ARM while entering the room. Dude ENTERED THE ROOM, WAS SHOT, AND THEN RETURNED 1 SHOT AND KILLED THE SUSPECT.
NO OTHER OFFICERS FIRED ANY BULLETS.
