| Read the article... http://www.mlive.com/news/kzgazette/...l=7&thispage=1 I find the statements made by the P.D. concerning justification of the shooting interesting. Pretty much flies in the face of everything I've been taught / read as far as the use of deadly force. I wonder if his sentaments might have been different had the homeowner not died?

2nd- Up until the physical encounter, no FELONY had necessarily been commited. 3rd - Then to use deadly force in stopping the fleeing perp, which now again of no physical threat to him. It has been hammered home in nearly every training/reading/discussion that in Michigan, you had better be in "fear for your life", before using deadly force. This was until the assault nothing more than a property crime which in Michigan is not grounds for deadly force, (or so I thought). To re-iterate, I guess I found it interesting in light of my training / beliefs.

| I read about Michigan's Castle Doctrine. It's good for anything but outside of your home. That's a very weak doctrine. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/Le...02_41800_7.PDF

| You will find that some people will confront the bad guy. I am not a big property kind of guy. A car or anything in it is not worth my life. Some feel it is. What is theirs is theirs. Even though in this case the bad guy did not have a gun the home owner could not of known that.
