[@tax905972]

Lawyers are the joke. A case can be thrown out if the prosecutor unnecessarily delays the case. I bet they also tried to get a plea bargain out of this.

[@tax905972]

A law enforcement officer 👮‍♀️ falls under different laws. It’s a cop’s job to be there, and be armed, and take police action if necessary. That’s not your responsibility . This is why many states require you to retreat if you can safely do so. Even in a stand your ground state, they want you to defuse that situation by walking away. A punch isn’t necessarily enough for a deadly response. The suspect said his boy would shoot you, he shot the guy without the gun.

[@billwilljulz]

We ALL have to be understanding on the situation, because remember. It's EASY to say, what we would do. Until, something like this happens to one of us. It's EASY, to say. ' I'd do it this way '. Yes, do I agree he should have stayed in the area, made his phone calls to 911 and USCCA and stayed in the area. Yes. Do I agree that on him making a decision to distance between him and the other guy, because a posabilty on that guy and others he posabilty could have known in the building he ran back into to come out and start firing on him.

Prosecutors should be required to prosecute cases anonymously and be prohibited from later associating their name with any outcome. Require an oath of secrecy in order to eliminate any career incentive to gain status through press, media or accolades. The only prosecutors on public record should be John/Jane Doe.

A good friend of mine was defending himself and shot someone. While he was incarcerated during the investigation he lost his father to cancer and his grandmother that raised him from a heart attack. His woman left him and started seeing another man. How is being incarcerated innocent until proven guilty? It made me want to cry when he told me he would've been better off just letting the guy murder him. He now pays child support and barely gets moments to see his children. The system is great at getting to the bottom of everything but its truly sad that life doesn't stop while they do their investigation. As a man you take our home, our family,, our children... what is that? Thats worse then being incarcerated!! Now you can say any real woman would've done this or done that. But all that time spent incarcerated and her being lonely and doing everything on her own for the children. What's expected? He could of seen his father and got those last moments with him. But the system has bars for the innocent and the guilty. Stop saying innocent until proven guilty when you're treated like you're guilty all the way up to 12 jurys to decide after the trial and full blown arguments and friends and enemies testifying what kind of person he is. But a police officer goes home and sees his children and family. Gets to sleep in his bed and drive his kids to school and binge watch his favorite episodes with his woman. IT'S NOT INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. If you're incarcerated thats where the guilty are. 🔥💯‼️🖕

I am a disabled veteran and was stalked by four men to be robbed one night when I was leaving a free bar poker tournament. As I was trying to leave one of the attackers punched me right in the face and was pulling back to punch me again as I was in shock and disbelief that this was happening. I reached for my gun and fired. A little 380 a ruger. I fired twice but I had four attackers. Both shots were fired at the lead attacker and by the time I redirected my focus on the remaining three attackers they had ran off and like this guy, got the hell out of there. The first attacker was shot twice. Once right through the heart, took out a lung and smacked up against a back rib and did not exit. The second shot went through the top of his hand and came out his palm and did a little burn out on his chest but landed on the ground. I to sat in jail until my case came up and the state never once got my side of the story, ever. At the end of the day the state charged ME with assaulting my attackers mainly my attacker that was killed. The state argued with a straight face to the jury that I had no right to defend myself and that I had committed a second degree (fear) assault and then argued as a result of the assault, the guy died which all but guaranteed a conviction. The state on appeal told the appellate court that had I brandished my gun that I could have avoided the whole thing. But that is exactly what a second degree fear assault is, brandishing a gun and making threats or demands at gunpoint. So without a predicate felony for second degree felony murder that the state admits never happened, I should not have been convicted of the second degree felony murder that requires a predicate felony. I joined the USCCA so that I could tell my story as I continued to fight my case and hoped I could find someone who could help me. My case has no downsides. I was not drinking, there was no provocation and no warning and as this guy points out, was punched out of nowhere. I faced four attackers. I have been to several USCCA events and talked with some of their lawyers, representatives, and have called a reference line because this would be a great case to take on because any attorney worth their salt could win this case if properly handled. At this point, I will probably just be requesting a refund of all my member fees that I have paid in so far.

[@jonathankall3062]

Trying to clarify what you’re saying here. You were not a member of the USCCA when this incident happened, if I understand it right. You said you had joined them afterwards to try to get your story heard and see if you could get some help. But I imagine, the terms and conditions are you have to be a member at the time of an incident, to get access to all the benefits they offer…. Then at the end you employ your disappointed with them for not taking your case “on” and I’m gonna request your money back. Did they not explain to you that you needed to have been a member before this happened? Am I understanding this right? disappointed with them that they didn’t take your case on.
