1. Thanks, I already do.
2. I don't often wear an orange cape when I do.
3. Watch him go to prison for manslaughter for shooting him in the back.

Not saying I abhor his response, just my current faith in the justice system.

Shouldn't need a badge for that.
The guy looked like he was getting ready to execute that chick. Good shoot all day.

The cop wouldn't know if she would survive when he fired. But he knew she sure as hell wouldn't if he didn't.
The way she was moving on the floor it looks like she might have ducked and be alright.

Looks like this wasn't just limited to the barber shop.
It also sounds like one of the barbers was killed, but it doesn't sound like it was the one giving the cop his haircut, so he may have saved her life.

I think that the murdered barber in the article is actually the "girl" seen in the video. The barber probably just had long hair.

Could be she was a he, but the article said the murdered barber was not the who cutting his hair.
Not sure if that was someone out of frame of the camera, or the article is poorly written.
Looks like they have an update and have named the dead barber.

The guy killed in the barbershop the video was taken in (Raphael Jeffers) was the owner.
The pictures people have identified of him don't *look* like the girl in the video, unless he really grew out his hair.
But it is hard to say.

I didn't post that he was an off-duty cop because he was special. I posted it just as a late fact in the story. Anybody getting their haircuts could have done the same and they would get in no trouble either.

Even though justified would a "normal" citizen get crap for shooting in the back....He Obviously was protecting the people their but just wondering of/if anything would come out of shooting a perp in back...it a perfect justified scenerio just presenting the question.........
I was facing away from him as he was walking to Execute the lady. I did what I had to do.........

I didn't think you meant the badge made a difference in the level of justification. But it may make a huge difference in the response from the justice system (even though it shouldn't).
I think Kyle Rittenhouse, and a string of others have proven the "wouldn't get in any trouble at all" thing is false. Depends on the DA and the politics, but a CCW in the same situation could see himself dragged into court over this.

Bottom line: If it is appropriate for police to carry concealed when off duty, then it is appropriate for all of us to do the same.
I hope one day we have National Reciprocity so I am able to carry everywhere.

The cop did great. He reacted quickly neutralizing the threat, had great situational awareness, said call the police, rolled the guy over, checked the door again, and said don’t move.
the only problem I could see arising is he didn’t ID as a cop, but he wasn’t at that point and he didn’t render aid. Some police departments are requiring that now from what I understand. All in all a great shoot and a great example of what should happen. Too bad the other guy died, but a POS aid dead now that killed three others.

Nobody should be attempting to render aid when the tactical situation is that uncertain.
The last thing you want to do is have your hands busy applying a tourniquet when this guys buddies burst through the door to finish the job.
I agree with rendering aid, but first you need to secure the scene. Just like you wouldn't start first aid inside a burning building.

According to some here, he should have gone down the street, got a cup of joe, let it play out and not get involved.

And the first to receive aid would be the innocent victim, the shooter would be last.

Good shoot all day, no question. The "shot in the back" scenario is irrelevant. He was still a threat when shot. If he had left the shop and was running away down the sidewalk and was shot in the back, then yes.. it could be a considered a bad shoot But that's not the case here. Scumbag got what he had coming, and well done from the off duty cop (who could have been ANY one of us here on the forum without a badge..) for doing the right thing and taking down a scourge of society.
