I don't know where you come up with these idiotic ideas. Aha, New Mexico. A BLUE state. No surprise. NO, a suspect cannot shoot a cop, unless the cop was trying to commit murder upon the suspect, which is extremely unlikely.For the millionth time, that is WRONG.
If a cop can shoot a suspect for his hands disappearing, then a suspect can shoot a cop for his hands disappearing.
You are parroting bad training that military experts have ruined the police with.
Police do NOT have any exception legal powers, and only have the exact same ability to use lethal force that ANY ORDINARY citizen has.
Police can NOT use the military rules of engagement, where the enemy is to be killed in order to prevent any risk at all.
With the police, the correct rules of engagement is that the police are required to accept MORE risk than an ordinary person, in order to increase the defense of individual rights from accidents like this.
FALSE! Police have far more legal powers than ANY ORDINARY citizen. This does vary among states though. In most states, crimes against police, are a seperate law (much more strict) than the same crime committed against an ordinary citizen.
