@kevcvs57 saidHer boyfriend attacked the firefighter, pulled a gun on him, and after knocking the gun out of his hands he pinned his attacker down.
In this case of third party self defence then yes. It’s a sad story and there should be something Taylor could be charged for instigating the fight that led to the shooting.
The girlfriend then picked up the gun and shot him in the back, and you think that's justified?
@jj-adams saidThe article says no such thing; it says Taylor got the gun away from her boyfriend:
Her boyfriend attacked the firefighter, pulled a gun on him, and after knocking the gun out of his hands he pinned his attacker down.

"According to court documents, Taylor then pulled the weapon out of his vehicle where his girlfriend was a passenger, spurring the fight.
The cellphone video shows the woman grabbing the gun out of Taylor’s hand while screaming, “Let it go! Let it go!” She also begged the men to stop."

Yes, it appears to be justified since Santi was choking Taylor and refused to stop.
@moonbus saidIf I were on the jury then I would consider these two scenarios identical in terms of how I would judge guilt or innocence.
I was once advised by a policeman who responded to an intruder-call in our house that if we had shot him as he climbed in the window and he fell outside, it would be murder, but if he fell inside, it would be self-Defence.
Takeaway lesson: carry the body inside, then cover your tracks.
@moonbus saidThat's ridiculous and patently false.

Either he was yanking your chain or he was incredibly ignorant of the law (you'd be surprised how many policemen are).

@moonbus saidThe policeman gave you some very bad advice.

@moonbus saidThat must depend on which state your in I’ve definitely heard of cases where a person has been shot for knocking on the wrong door.

Anyway shooting someone in the back must be legal the cops do it all the time and they would know.

All the time? should be easy for you to post a link then...go
@mott-the-hoople saidFind your own link halfwit “all the time” is a commonly used phrase to mean a recurring incident but not to mean it’s literally all they do or everyday as well you know.

Any thoughts on wether this is a crime just for future reference?
