I'm not saying that running to him (if that's true) was smart or justifiable on their part. Horn (or anyone else in his position) and the suspects' fault are two different issues, as far as I'm concerned.


Yes, if the fleeing alleged assailant poses no immediate threat to the officer or to others.

Por ejemplo: http://articles.latimes.com/2005/dec...tion/na-alito3

Similarly, in some states it is in violation of the law for home owners to shoot burglars before they enter their home (and before they pose a threat) or once they are exiting the home (and no longer pose a threat).

So laws in different states are what they are but the implications of the laws are much more interesting. The implications are what we're discussing now. So there's no need for people to keep reminding us of TX law and that the jury found that Horn did not violate the law. We get that, thanks.
Gotcha. Thanks for the link.
